Leah, Lara or Elara

[Hibbs126]

I gave birth to our daughter on Friday but we can't decide on her name. We both like Leah, Lara and Elara which are all fairly similar just can't make a final decision as to which one so wondered what peopled thoughts were on them?

I like Leah. It's my sister's name and when I was young I always wished it was mine!

Well, I'm not british but I always wondered what the point of the H in Leah could possibly be. Does it really change the pronunciation ? Sorry this always bugs me.

Anyway, I like Lara the most out of those. Elara feels like you just slapped an E in front of Lara for no particular reason ! Also makes me think of Lara Croft, good strong empowering name for a girl.

I like Leah or Lara equally.

Congratulations!

Marry- to me Lea would be pronounced Lee whilst Leah is Lee-a but don't know how others would say it. Elara is from Greek mythology but can see why people might think we've just slapped an E onto Lara. I think I like that she could shorten it to Lara if she didn't like it.

Lara is lovely; I’m less keen on the other two but slightly prefer Elara to Leah.

But I’d go with Lara, OP - it’s pretty and classic and very elegant, and easy to spell (with the other two she will always be correcting people’s spelling!)

Congratulations!

I love Lara

Well it's a biblical name so presumably has been spelt that way for some time !

Elara isn't a name. It sounds like a brand of sanitary towels

Congratulations!!

Am biased with Lara as I know a gorgeous funny clever one who melts my heart!

I love Leah but spelt Lia and this would be my choice out of your three

Of course Elara is a name . In Greek mythology she gave birth to Zuses' son. Just because you've never heard of it doesn't mean it's not a name 🤣

Lara

Leah

I like Elara, with Lara second and Leah third.

Firstly, Congratulations!
I love all of the names but especially Elara. It reminds me of the name Alara which is a favourite of mine.

Lara for sure

Congratulations! Try saying them out loud, calling her all the names and see which feels more natural. No rush xx

Leah

I prefer Elora to Elara , but all three are nice.

Lara is the softer sound, Elara the most unusual, Leah the most biblical.

Which suits your daughter's sweet face and your surname best?

Congratulations! Lara is my favourite.

Lara. Leah’s a bit downmarket.

Lara for sure - beautiful name

Leah.
