We have narrowed it down to Elyanna / Angelina?
Which do you prefer?
I prefer Angelina (Angie for short), DH prefers Elyanna

I prefer Eliana. It’s a nice name but I think the spelling you’ve gone with doesn’t work.

How are you pronouncing it? Ellie - Anna, or Ellie - Ahna?

Pronounced same as Eliana but I prefer the spelling Elyanna 😭

@NuffSaidSam I have short vowels so would say Elly- anna, but regardless of spellng she would get Elly-a(r)-na and Elly-anna.
Eliana is the most usual spelling, then Elianna.

Are you pronouncing Ellyanna like Eliana? It's a nice name, but I would spell it Eliana as that's a more common/recognisable spelling.

If you call her Elyanna, she‘ll spend her whole life having to spell it out
This. If i heard it, I'd think it was Eliana. Highly likely to be Ellie.
How about Angelica?

Elianna

If you call her Elyanna, she‘ll spend her whole life having to spell it out - people will put Elianna or Ellianna. Angelina is a sweet name - and you can get her all the Angelina ballerina stuff.
