Eleska

Bit nervous to post this... thoughts? (Hides under duvet)

For a girl I assume? I've never heard this name, have you made it up? I actually quite like it. Also I often see ppl post on here saying they want a unique name and then listing names that are merely rare, this in my world at least would be genuinely unique!!

i am not sure your child will be happy with this name.

It sounds like someone saying Alaska with a South African accent.

Wouldn't be my first choice, sorry...

Do you mean Eliska, the Czech/Slovak diminutive for Elise?
Eleska sounds like Alaska.
Eliska is very sweet, but I would assume you were of Czech/Slovak origin.

I've not come across this name before, and don't really take to it.

Is it a dinimutive of an Eastern European name? In which case, go for it and honour your heritage.

But my first thought was that it was a bit reminiscent of Electra, and somehow not quite right.

Sounds like Alexa.

I love it.. Almost named my daughter this but my OH wouldn't allow it as it sounded too much like Alaska. It's never been listed on the ONS so it's nice and rare 😁

It sounds like Vanessa Feltz' DD's names combined

Is it a real name? They’ll spend their life with people thinking they’re called Alexa or Alaska

I actually quite like it. The closest name I know to it is Aneska

You know when people say AKS instead of ASK?

Sounds like saying EleSKA instead of AleXA

Sorry.

It's all been said already. You will not be thanked for this name.

I’m really sorry but I don’t like it. Difficult to figure out at first glance. Looks like a misspelling of Alexa.

Yep, sounds like Alaska.

Are you forrin? If so, go for it.
If not avoid, avoid, avoid.

It DOES sound like a South African saying 'Alaska'! Also it does sound made up. Also what if people use 'Les' as a nickname - probably one of the worst nicknames of all time!

I know an Electra.......she does carry the name well tho (( globe trotting fashion designer ))

Dreadful, although she would probably end up as Ellie.

I know a husky called this so I like it!

"elska" is Icelandic for "love" and älska (pronounced the same) is the Swedish. It's a sweet name for a pet I think but not a baby. I'd just think of it whenever I saw Eleska

The negative comments only make me love this name more 😂

Sounds like a medical device.

Alaska? Alexa? Electra? A mash up of Eleanor and Erika?

It's not a great choice.

It sounds like someone saying Alaska with a South African accent.

Or possibly in a very post accent like the Queen.

I don't dislike it as such but "Alaska" would put me off it.

Eleska sounds made up and I cannot find it listed, and don't like it. But I do like Eliska- Meanings and history of the name Eliska: | Edit
Eliška is a Czech diminutive of Alžběta (Elizabeth). Elizabeth is from Ελισαβετ (Elisabet), the Greek form of the Hebrew name אֱלִישֶׁבַע (Elisheva) meaning; "God's promise," "oath of God," or "I am God’s daughter."
