Eliza as a sister to Leila?

[Jokat]

Hi there,

My favourite on our list for a girl is Eliza, I love it! Our dd1 is called Leila (pronounced like Layla), so I do wonder if the two are a bit too similar. What do you think? And would it go alright with Marian as middle name? I think so but am interested to get some more people's opinions. Thanks :-)

I think they go well and are not too similar.

Not too keen on Marian, but ok if it is a family name - Marianne is very pretty though.

Lovely!

IMO I think there are rather too many L's. A bit of a tongue twister when said together, but then they will go off and live their own lives, so use it if you like it. Both lovely names .

both very pretty names but I think they would get muddled as they sound so similar.

Marian was my dh's grandmother's name. Leila's middle name is Angelica after my mum, so the next child should have a name from my husband's family. His mother is called Paula which I don't like at all, but I like Marian so that'll be the one if it's a girl.

think they are both beautiful names and go well together

Tongue twister so not for me. Plus Eliza is everywhere right now so slightly puts me off a name.

Hi, I think they go well. Eliza is at the top of my list and although I have seen quite a few like it on Mumsnet I have yet to meet one (and I have 3 other girls ranging from 10 to 2 so am surrounded by girls on a daily basis!!!).
I know the girl from Eastenders named hers Eliza, which I found out about after posting the name on here, but I'm sure not that many people will think that is my inspiration (and that does put me off a tiny, tiny bit) so I still love the name.
