Alaya but I think a different spelling… potentially Alaiyah (not to be confused with Aaliyah)
alexis I love but fear it’ll get shortened to Alex which I dislike but lex or Lexi is cute.
i know a girl called Remy! She is 3

I like Eleanor. Lovely name.

mishgs · 01/08/2026 08:00

Eliza, Eleanor and Alannah (much prefer this spelling)

timoteigirl · 01/08/2026 14:34

Eleanor fine, regal
Alora - the town or sounds like a name of a product
Eliza - I personally don't like, to me it is chirpy like Pollyanna
Alaya - is this missing an -h from the end?
Alana - I don't like this, as if named after a man. Prefer Lana or even better Lara or Tara
Remi and Alexis - no thanks

others: Elena, Iliana, Sofia, Nora
Tianna, Juliana
Gabriella

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 01/08/2026 14:36

Eleanor is beautiful was going to be DS name

LilyLemonade · 01/08/2026 14:39

I like Alana.
I thought Remi was a boy's name?
What about Liora, Leona, Lexi, Romy or Ria?

mtobrokeme · 01/08/2026 14:55

Eleanor was my choice for if DS turned out to be a girl! I love that but not keen on your others!

AgnesMcDoo · 01/08/2026 15:04

Eleanor

ChocolateCinderToffee · 01/08/2026 18:57

Eleanor or Alexis are nice. Don't like any of the rest.

Silverbirchleaf · 01/08/2026 19:05

Don’t like Alora, Alaya or Alana, and Alexa obviously has the ‘Ask Alexa’ connotations.

Eliza my favourite from your list.

Suggestions-
Penelope
Darcy
Paige
Maya
Brooke
Freya
Maisie
Anna
Tansy

Eleanor - beautiful classic name. Very popular with all the Ellies though. Dislike the pronunciation where the ending is said as 'or' though.
Alora - very samey with Alara, Lara, Laura, Orla etc.
Eliza - my least favourite name. Dislike the sound immensely.
Alaya - very samey with Leia, Alara, Freya, Laila, Ayla etc
Alana - I loved the Tortall books as a child so have a soft spot for Alanna.
Remi - trendy for both girls and boys at the moment. It's fine.
Alexis - not a fan. Alexandra is fine though.

I'd go Eleanor of your options.

Shloopie · 01/08/2026 19:43

I like Remi

CurlewKate · 01/08/2026 19:49

WaltzingWaters · 01/08/2026 19:52
