Still undecided...

We went back to the drawing board yesterday to see if we could find any similar names to Ariella, as a backup option in case we go off Ariella...
we found a Hebrew name, Eliana, what do you think of this name?
Do you prefer Eliana or Ariella? I still prefer Ariella because I think it looks prettier and sounds stronger... What are your thoughts?

Eliana is better.

@Buckingham1988 I wouldn’t mind these nicknames, I guess we will let the nickname form naturally

For nicknames we were thinking,
Ariella: Aria, Ella, Ria, Ayla (pronounced Eye-la)
Eliana: Ella or Anna...

I’m aware that Ellie/ Ella is really common... however it isn’t that common in our culture, we have a Turkish, Persian & English background...
Ariana is quite common, a family friend’s daughter has been named Ariana so we ruled this name out even though it has been on our list for a while.

Eliana.

Ariella is waaaaay to flouncy.

Eliana by far my favourite. I would think it may be shortened to eli/Ellie or Ann/Anna would you be happy with these nicknames?

Neither are to my style (I tend to veer away from "pretty"), but I prefer Eliana. I think the -ana ending feels stronger than -ella, which is just a bit too princessy, not to mention popular, for me.

What nicknames are you thinking for each? Perhaps that would help decide it?

I think Ariella is too close to areola.

Eliana is much better imo.
