Here comes my third kid, another girl! I need help narrowing down my short list into a shorter list. I like sort of flowery fancy names. I really want a name that can be shortened, the more the better. I also like names with nice meanings. Pick one or suggest your own:

Crystalina (Crystal - I love crystals (Greek for ice))
Elouisa (Louisa, Ellie, Louise (Old German for famous warrior woman))
Elizabeth (Lizzie, Izzy, Betty, Ellie, Beth, Eliza, Lizziebeth - my mum was called Elizabeth)
Adora (Dora (Means a gift or beloved)
Isadora (Issy, Dora (means gift from Isis in Greek)

Thanks,
Eliode

Crystalina (Crystal - I love crystals (Greek for ice)) - Just no. No child deserves a name like that
Elouisa (Louisa, Ellie, Louise (Old German for famous warrior woman)) - Pick Louisa or Eloise not mish-mash the names into something ugly. The world does not need another Ellie
Elizabeth (Lizzie, Izzy, Betty, Ellie, Beth, Eliza, Lizziebeth - my mum was called Elizabeth) - Fine apart from Lizziebeth and Ellie. Bess is fab.
Adora (Dora (Means a gift or beloved) - You'd need to use Belle as a middle name. Ding dong!
Isadora (Issy, Dora (means gift from Isis in Greek) - at least it's not truly hideous like Adora, Crystalina and Elouisa

They are all lovely except Adora. Hard to choose from the others.

Really like Elouisa, it’s unusual without being weird.

Not a fan of Crystalina - bit long and more importantly Crystal has a rep as a ‘stripper name’ it just does, not my idea.

Isadora is cool

Adora is lovely but I worry her classmates would keep joking about ‘I adore ya’ or stuff like that
