Eliana Belle Williams to go with siblings Riley and Laila? thanks :)

I think the 'Belle' doesn't flow that well (although I like it) with the overall name ifyswim? Love Eliana- loads of nickname potential if wanted, and just a beautiful and not overused name.

rileylaila5 · 24/09/2013 18:26

Yes I think you might be right just a shame I like it. Any suggestions for a different middle name please?x

Sounds lovely, not my cuppa but can't see anything wrong with it!

Inglori0us · 24/09/2013 18:39

What about Isobel as the middle name?
Eliana is gorgeous btw.

Eliana lulu
Eliana rose
Eliana poppy
Eliana may
I love Eliana

Not saying family names should fllow together but have you tried saying 'these are my children, Riley, laila and eliana'. It's quite a mouthful!

FellatioNelson · 24/09/2013 18:48

I think it sounds like a complete tongue twister. Eliana is very pretty, but the names are all practically anagrams of one another.

FellatioNelson · 24/09/2013 18:48

I hate Belle though.

honeybeeridiculous · 24/09/2013 18:57

I know brothers Ross & Josh. thats a tongue twister!

looki · 24/09/2013 20:02

Two of your children will practically share a name!!!

FellatioNelson · 24/09/2013 20:06

I know a Melanie and Emily, and an Owen and Ewan!

People are a bit bonkers sometimes aren't they?

hashtagwhatever · 24/09/2013 20:08

I really do not like belle.

Eliana Rose as suggested sounds nice.

p.s I have a dc with one of your dc names.

BlackholesAndRevelations · 24/09/2013 21:12

Sorry but I don't think it goes with Riley and Laila at all. I'm finding it a real struggle to think of names for dc3 as they do have to go with the first two.

OutragedFromLeeds · 24/09/2013 22:45

I like the name, but there are too many L's with Riley and Laila, middle name Belle and surname Williams!!

mathanxiety · 25/09/2013 00:31

Have suggested
Zoe
Quinn
Skye

and
Logan
Jackson
Rhys

on your other thread

I think Laila and Riley have a casual feel to them whereas Eliana is too frilly and doesn't really go.

MrsMongoose · 25/09/2013 00:54

Name is very L heavy. I dislike it, so I'd be looking to choose a name without such a strong l sound.

rileylaila5 · 25/09/2013 06:29

ok thanks for your opinions :)

Agree too similar to Laila. What about Eloise or Elise? The "s" sound makes them a little more distinct.

MisselthwaiteManor · 25/09/2013 06:41

I love the name Eliana but I agree with others that it's too similar to Laila and doesn't go with Belle.

I like the suggestion of Elise, that's v pretty too.

OutragedFromLeeds · 25/09/2013 12:47

What about Ariana? Similar sound, but avoids any L's.
