Elizabella

Elizathena looks and sounds completely made up.

ShanghaiDiva · 07/11/2018 11:36

not really keen on either, but prefer first one

AnElderlyLadyOfMediumHeight · 07/11/2018 11:38

Why not Elizabeth?

They both sound made up (in a portmanteau kind of way).

HouseworkIsASin10 · 07/11/2018 11:39

Neither, very made up sounding.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 07/11/2018 11:44

None. Its either Elizabeth or Isabella
or Eliza or Athena. Pick one

Creepyexgirlfriend · 07/11/2018 12:04

Elizabella but agree it sounds made up. I appreciate it might not be.

hulabaloo · 07/11/2018 12:11

Wolfiefan · 07/11/2018 12:54

I agree with baby spider.

minimausi · 07/11/2018 12:54

I think I prefer the sound of Elizabella over Elizabeth, it sounds very pretty.

ReginaPhalange89 · 07/11/2018 13:58

I dislike both, sorry! Sound made up .

Elizabella if you have to . But Eliza or Isabella would be nicer

Glumglowworm · 07/11/2018 14:18

Elizabeth

kaylanelson · 07/11/2018 14:27

I don't like the way people have to be so negative about names! so what if it isn't to your taste don't comment or just tell her what one you prefer! I prefer elizabella ❤️

Shadow1234 · 07/11/2018 14:49

Elizabella

WowserBowser · 07/11/2018 14:55

What is the point of baby names threads if you can't say how you honestly feel about a name? Surely it is better to hear on here before naming a baby and everyone thinking it anyway.

HoratioNightboy · 07/11/2018 15:23

I'm not keen on the sound of Elizathena, but I've always been a fan of Elizabella.

It has been a name in Scotland since at least the 1720s (As Elisabel, Elisabella appeared later in the 1760s). It fell out of use in the 1930s but seems to be resurfacing again, so it is a real name and I think it's very pretty!

Goostacean · 07/11/2018 15:44

Elizabella, if I had to choose. But really babyspider is right...

Mummaluelae · 07/11/2018 15:47

Elizabella is beautiful

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 07/11/2018 16:38

Elizabella is dreadful. Have you made it up? Reminds me of Lilyella, which is also terrible.

You can't go wrong with Elizabeth/Elisabeth.

plaidlife · 07/11/2018 16:41

babyspider is right to be honest.

Aurea · 07/11/2018 17:46

Isabella?

daisypond · 07/11/2018 18:07

Elizabella. I rather like it.

SnuggyBuggy · 07/11/2018 18:15

Thinking about it anyone called Elizabella is facing a lifetime of correcting people
