Not a made up name, Elizabella is the Spanish form of Elizabeth

Elizabella but it's a bit of a mouthful still, I'd prefer Eliza or Isabella.

If you are Spanish speaking OP you need to note that English speakers will not pronounce Elizabella in the way you will and she will spend a fair amount of time correcting people.

What's hard about pronouncing Elizabella? Isn't it El-ee-za-bella?

SnuggyBuggy · 07/11/2018 18:49

It's more that people will think you've said Isabella

How should it be pronounced? I pronounce it Eliza-Bella - right or wrong?

helpmum2003 · 07/11/2018 19:05

A European Spanish speaker would pronounce LL as y and z as th.

batshitbetty · 07/11/2018 19:39

They both sound made up

I like Elizabella. Never really been that keen on Elizabeth.

Berniethefastestmilkwoman · 07/11/2018 19:58

I prefer Elizabeth or Isabella.

If you are going for one of the 2nd names you suggested then I prefer Elizabella.

They are okay but keep coming to mind as Elizabethan just be mindful of that but if you love them go for it

Sophronia · 07/11/2018 21:46

Elizabella

stellarfox · 11/11/2018 10:23

I wouldn’t use it unless you are Spanish? If so the first one. I would definitely prefer Elizabeth, Eliza or Isabella though!

TheCraicDealer · 11/11/2018 10:30

I wouldn't use it myself but now I know it's not made up think Elizabella is very pretty.

Imagine a toddler trying to say "Elizathena" though- don't go for that unless you love Eliza, as it will 100% just get shortened.
