Lois and Alex.

I like Elise but there are a lot of 'E' names that are common well-used (Esme, Emily/Emilia, Eva, Ellie, Ella..) so personally I would be less inclined to use it.

Elissa - prefer Eliza but again wouldn't use (as above) and if you did choose the name, you may end up forever correcting people of the spelling.

I know a Delilah and she's a handful Grin. Even her mother regretted the name choice.

Immediate thought - they all have the letter L in them Grin

Other than that, I like them all apart from Delilah. Lois is especially pretty.

frums · 10/04/2017 08:07

Eloise is lovely.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 10/04/2017 08:06

I also prefer Alyssa.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 10/04/2017 08:05

I like Eloise, Elise and Elissa.

Sophronia · 10/04/2017 07:52

I like...

Delilah
Alana
Lois
Lucia
Alex if short for Alexandra
Elissa but prefer Alyssa

pieceofpurplesky · 10/04/2017 00:27

Like them all. I know a tiny Alana named after her grandad. She is gorgeous

gettinfedduppathis · 10/04/2017 00:26

Delilah just makes me think of Tom Jones!

porterwine · 10/04/2017 00:23

I really like Alana (prefer Lana), Elissa and Alex. The only thing with Elissa is she may have a life time of having to correct people on the spelling. I have a friend called Emilia and every other person spells it Amelia.

Delilah isn't my cup of tea, too "girly" but I think it is a nice name none the less.I think Elise is lovely- very timeless.

SirNiallDementia · 09/04/2017 23:04

I like Lois and Alana.

Yika · 09/04/2017 23:02

I don't like Eloise, Lucia or Elissa but like the others. I love Lois.

RufusTheRenegadeReindeer · 09/04/2017 22:59

My Eloise is like the stars that please the night,the sun that makes the day, that lights the wayAnd when my star goes by, I'll hold it in my hands and cry,her love is mine, my sun will shine, Every night I'm there I break my heart to please

I used to like the Damned Grin the name always reminds me of them

NoncommittalToSparkleMotion · 09/04/2017 22:57

I love Eloise.

Didn't know that about Alana @floggingmolly

Hellofromme · 09/04/2017 22:56

Much prefer them to all the Violets, Ivys, Evas and Avas and Adas.

missyB1 · 09/04/2017 22:55

I love Lois but that's the only one I'm afraid.

keeplooking · 09/04/2017 22:54

Love Eloise and Lois.
Delilah is quite 'out there', but grows on you! Maybe with nn Lila?

The others I don't hate, but don't really like either.

user1482079332 · 09/04/2017 22:53

Delilahs brave the rest are boring and unimaginative

SwedishEdith · 09/04/2017 22:52

Lois or Alex.

AlwaysTheWinner · 09/04/2017 22:51

I like Alana and Lois as well.

Floggingmolly · 09/04/2017 22:51

Alana is an Irish pet name for a little girl.

Gileswithachainsaw · 09/04/2017 22:50

EffinElle · 09/04/2017 22:49
