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?

Leah by a mile! Congratulations 💖

Leah is beautiful. Not keen on the other two.

Sorry to be the awkward one but I used to know a Leah and she was a spiteful cow to be honest, had a right chip on her shoulder...🙈

Lara is the best.

Leah is the rejected first wife in the Bible, and Elara sounds invented.

Lara is lovely

Lara.

Elara might get shortened to Ellie which there are too many of.

and I just realised I posted on an old thread. Not sure why that was on my screen!

I love the name Lara

Ah didn't realise it was an old thread. Wonder what the OP chose in the end

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.

Lea is pronounced Lee. You'd need to spell it Léa, and accents can be a pita in the uk.

Agree totally about the Elara. The E weakens the name
