I knew one once. It was pronounced like the names Elle and Ian said one after the other (like the "alien but starting with an E" description given above).

Elly-arn

If you add an A it's Eliana which IMO is much nicer but I'm biased.

Is it a girls name?

Dixiestampsagain · 14/11/2017 13:24

I would say it like you; I love the name.

RatRolyPoly · 14/11/2017 12:53

Yeah, like Alien but with and "eh" at the beginning.

dowotmakesuhappy · 14/11/2017 11:43

Ell-ee-un or Ell-eye-un,

Love this name. The little Cuban boy who was rescued

Thanks, I would say 'El-lee-an/un' but it seems some would pronounce it El-liun (like lion) which I don't like as much

Like it's written: Eh-lian.

Zeelove · 14/11/2017 08:53

Elian. Like Alien only with an eh sound

EssentialHummus · 14/11/2017 08:49

Not heard of it, would go for Elly-Ann.

MaroonPencil · 14/11/2017 08:49

I don't know the name so when I first saw it I would pronounce it El Ee Ann.
