Opinions on these names - and which is your preferred name and why?

Adaline, it's both old timey and a bit different and up to date. I know an Adaline and she's a lovely girl :) It has a storybook quality to it but coukd also be simplified to Ada, which I also love. Its a name for all seasons and reasons basically 😆

I prefer Adaline

I know an Elara and an Eliara. To me they just get muddled up with all of the many Ellie type and Lara, Lyra, Lara type names.

Adaline is a lot stronger to me and a less ubiquitous sound

Editing to fix typo!
