Ellora or Paisleigh?

[98gigs]

Ellora and Paisleigh are the top two me and DH have chosen but not sure of which one to choose as we like them both equally. We both prefer spelling them differently than having them as Elora and paisley if anyone's wondering. DD is due in December so we've got time to have a think and we'd love to hear your opinions thanks.

Elora is acceptable.

Just don't with the other one,

Ellora- “no, sorry, that’s with an e, not an A. And two l’s”

You’ll be saying this for the first 5 years of her life and then it will be her turn.

As for Paisley, I mean Paisly, I mean Paysley, I mean Paighslee, I mean Payzlea, I mean Paisleigh….

So, I guess I could say I am a fan of neither of these names, but would choose Ellora if I had to.

Have you considered Parsley?

All I can see when I look at Paisleigh is the word "sleigh" so it could be OK for a Christmas baby.

Me too. Can only see Pay slay!

I've never heard of Elora but it's OK. I actually like Paisley. Not the youneek spellings though. Sorry.

As for Paisley, I mean Paisly, I mean Paysley, I mean Paighslee, I mean Payzlea, I mean Paisleigh….

Is this the new Jasmine, Jazmyn, Jasmin, Jazmin, Jazmine, Jazmyne, Jazzmine?

Both are dreadful. Choose a proper name.

Ellora spelled either way is OK. Paisley is not to my taste...

Paisleigh Taking a not very nice town on the west of Scotland and applying a youneeq spelling to it really is beyond cringe-worthy - just don’t do it.

Ellora is a nice enough name - but again, what’s with the youneeq spelling? It doesn’t change the name, it just makes you look like you didn’t know how to spell the name and cba looking it up.

Elora is so pretty and is actually a Hebrew name meaning "my god is my light"

Instantly reminded me of the movie Willow too- Elora was prophesied to save the world, wasn't she?! Love it

Both are terrible but especially Paisley. Never understood why folks like this name (but then I've been there!)

Elora is tolerable but Paysleigh is unbearable. Poor child.

Are you serious with Paisleigh? Paisley is a nice enough name as is Elora. I agree with everyone that the awful spellings are, well awful!

What about Elodie/ Elena/ Thea - all recently used by friends and are unusual but lovely.

Please don't name your child Paisleigh.
Ellora isn't great either but much better than the other dreadful name.

Paisleigh - naw just dinnae. The other names not much better either.

Elora - fine. Ellora, odd.

Paisleigh - awful.

Have you been to Paisley?

I love Elora. Ellora less so, but it's still nice.

Paisleigh is awful. Paisley isn't really much better.

They both absolutely awful. Just totally ridiculous and look made up by somebody who can't spell. I'm really sorry to be so harsh, but you've got time to think of something else

Elora is fine
Paisleigh is awful

Both pretty grim in my opinion. Paisleigh is bloody awful , the name , the spelling all bad . Please don't name your child this !!!

Gosh sorry. In 14 years here I am saying for the first time that these are awful

Phloughie is nice.

Not keen they both sound a bit Dance Moms or toddlers and Tiaras. Ellora if I had to pick as she can go by Ellie when older.

Ellora is unusual but pretty.

The other name is ridiculous. Made me think of parsley. Don’t do it!!

Ian Paisley.
I’d be waiting for her first words to be “Ulster says No!”
Eek!
