Eiriana?

I'm picking a Welsh girl's name and deciding between Eiriana, Mabli and Iola. My dh suggested Eiriana and it's growing on me but it is 4 syllables which seems long to me. What do you think of the options?

I like Eira but have never heard of eiriana- it's a bit frilly for my taste.

Like Mabli and iola too.

I have no idea how to pronounce it. She will have a lifetime of spelling it out.

Is that a Welsh name? Not heard of it before. Eira is snow. The ‘ana’ bit makes it sound a bit more Greek to me. Not that it makes any difference, unless you’re dead set on it being Welsh. Maybe a fluent speaker could provide a bit more insight.

I like Mabli by the way!
