Hey all! Hoping you can help with our name choices as we cannot decide, and with due date imminent we are (I am) getting anxious!

Our eldest daughter has an unusual name, so we wanted something on a par

Elora
Livia
Alina
Luciana (Italian pronouciation)
Confused

they're not any sort of names i'd chose but from your list Elora is my fave

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 06/11/2017 21:05

Livia or Alina

IVflytrap · 06/11/2017 21:16

I like Livia and Alina, which is surprisingly underused in the UK.

PandaCat · 06/11/2017 21:18

Of those, I prefer Elora

Smoliver · 06/11/2017 22:38

Elora - Pretty name. Makes me think of Eleanor, which is another name I like.

Livia - I strangely like this name, and I'm not usually a fan of shortened versions of names. Maybe because it makes me think of Lydia?

Alina - Another pretty name. I think this one is my favourite from your list Smile

Luciana - I like this name and that the nicknames Lucy or Ana can be taken from it. I think I prefer the other names a bit more though.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

I like Elora.

I wouldn't choose Livia if you want a name which is somewhat unusual. Whilst statistically it's not that popular, Olivia is extremely popular and they are just too similar. She'll have a lifetime of saying 'Yeah, like Olivia without the O 🙄)

I've never heard if Elora before, it's lovely.
There was a thread on here recently about the name Luciana. TBH I would avoid it if you don't have any Italian connection.

My girls are Isabella and Lucia. I'm thinking of Elysia for the third (due date last Wednesday!).
Good luck with everything xx

manicinsomniac · 07/11/2017 00:32

I really like Livia (much, much prefer it to Olivia but not really sure why!) and Alina

ThaliaLuxurySpa · 07/11/2017 00:45

Luciana.

Gorgeous!

Good luck for a straightforward, speedy delivery, OP. Flowers

louloubelle17, wishing you and soon-to-be-here baby well, too. Love the name Elysia, BTW.

ChocolateCrunch · 07/11/2017 07:33

I love Elora and quite like Alina. Livia and Luciana, not so keen, sorry

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 07/11/2017 09:47

Alina is lovely !

louloubelle17 · 07/11/2017 11:51

Thanks ThaliaLuxurySpa!

EleanorXx · 07/11/2017 14:14

Elora is lovely, very pretty
Livia is nice, but lots of people will assume her name is Olivia and you may have to correct them
Alina isn't my cup of tea, but a good, proper name
Luciana has lots of very cute nicknames (Lucy,Anna ect) and makes me think of a strong woman.
All lovely but my favourite is Luciana

icantgetnosleep5 · 07/11/2017 20:42

elora :)

FASDLRL · 09/11/2017 10:39

Out of your suggestions I like Luciana and Elora - could also have Lucia as a shorter version ?

Some other unique names - Jolie, Neve, Nora, Evangeline, Ginny, Nola,
