These are the only names we like but it is hard to choose:

Elyana
Lilia
Lea

I work with a young Lilia. She gets called Lil ( as long as you’re fine with that). People will shorten where they can. Elyana is a weird made up fusion name that no one will spell correctly. Lea will often get spelled Leah I imagine.

All names are "made up." Just some longer ago than others.

Lilia were a brand of sanitary towels.

Your other two names have ambiguous spelling. Do make sure you give your child a name they won’t have to spell every day.

That's not the only important thing! It doesn't kill anyone to learn how to write a name correctly. My surname is Scandinavian and no English person can pronounce it or write it if told it verbally but I have lived.

Lilia/ Lilja is an old name from several cultures, the sanitary towels (which I have never heard of btw) are hardly the most significant thing about it.

It is Lea not Leah- pronounced like Leia. Hence the spelling.
Elyana is a common spelling.

I thought Lilia too.

Lilia is a very pretty name
