Which girls name do you prefer?

[Eliode2000]

Here comes my third kid, another girl! I need help narrowing down my short list into a shorter list. I like sort of flowery fancy names. I really want a name that can be shortened, the more the better. I also like names with nice meanings. Pick one or suggest your own:

Crystalina (Crystal - I love crystals (Greek for ice))
Elouisa (Louisa, Ellie, Louise (Old German for famous warrior woman))
Elizabeth (Lizzie, Izzy, Betty, Ellie, Beth, Eliza, Lizziebeth - my mum was called Elizabeth)
Adora (Dora (Means a gift or beloved)
Isadora (Issy, Dora (means gift from Isis in Greek)

Thanks,
Eliode

Only like Elizabeth. Crystalina sounds like a cleaning product and Adora like a feminine hygeine product

If the name was "Eloise" I'd vote for that as it's lovely. But Elouisa looks like a misspelling/you got confused between Eloise and Louisa?

Elizabeth and Eloise lovely.

Isadora, Eloise or Theadora!

Isadora Elizabeth is beautiful and seems to fit your criteria perfectly (and compliments your other DDs names)

I'm really not keen on Crystallina or Adora

Crystalina and Lizziebeth aren't for me.

I like the others. How about Elizabeta /Elizabetta?

Isadora - my favourite of your choices - Dorrie, Dorey, Dot are all also nns

Elizabeth - a classic -Lizbie is a very underused nn

Eloisa - it’s nice but I’d use this spelling which is the usual one - otherwise people will misspell it all the time. Essie is another nn

Adora - no, you just think of Adore and Adorable, which is wet and weird - I like Isadora best but Theodora and Dorothea both mean gift as alternatives

Crystalina - absolutely not - sounds like a stripper or fortune teller or possibly a brand of window cleaner -

Others -

Cecilia - Cece, Cely, Cicely, Cecily
Felicity - Issy, Lissa, Flick, Fee
Henrietta - Harriet, Hattie, Hetty, Etta, Henny, Hallie
Georgina / Georgiana - Georgia, Georgie, Gigi, Gina
Josephine - Josie, Jo Jo, Jo, Fifi, Ephie
Joanna - Josie, Jojo, Jo, Annie, Nancy, Nan
Rosanna - Rose, Rosa, Rosy, Posy, Anna, Annie, Nancy
Penelope - Pen, Penny, Nell, Pippa
Katharine - Kate, Katy, Kit, Kitty, Kathy, Kat, Kay
Francesca - Fran, Francie, Frankie, Franca, Chessie, Chesca
Alexandra - Alex, Alix, Alecky, Sandy, Xandra, Sacha, Ala, Allie
Susannah - Susie, Sukey, Sue, Susan, Zanna, Anna, Annie, Nancy
Maria - May, Maya, Mia, Molly, Polly, Maisie, Ria
Marguerite- Margot, Maggie, Peggie, Daisy, Rita, Margie
Victoria - Vicky, Vita, Tory, Plum
Natalia - Natasha, Tally, Tasha, Nattie

Isadora

really dislike the rest, sorry.

Sorry, I cannot reply to you all personally but I am starting to settle on all of them!

Well Isadora I don't really want to be shortened to Issy but it can shorten to Dora or even Adora. That is almost certainly going to be her first name.

Middle names: Cristabel? Mirabel? (Not Cristabel and Mirabel together) Elizabeth. Theadora? (would that be too much like Isadora) Elouisa.

I want to protect the name Elouisa. I love how it ends in an A. It is a real name on NameBerry and I know in my workplace there is somebody called Elouisa. It has a greek meaning of a famous female warrior. It derives from Eloise. It's Old German originally.

Does this full name sound ok? Isadora Elouisa Elizabeth Hampson. Remebering her sisters are Adelaide and Elaine. If you think it would be good with another name then i will make it: Isadora Cristabel Elouisa Elizabeth Hampson.

I don't think I need any more amazing name suggestions (Thank you so much though) just if that name suits. Actually, if you have a nice ocean-y name i'll consider it!

Thanks so much,
Eliode

Just wanted to let some of you know that I do love those names you suggest but cannot use them for my new baby! My first daughter is Adelaide Cecilia Cassandra. My second child is Elaine Felicity Hera Dorothea. My name is Eliode Athena Hope. We think much alike! I like long names.
Thanks!

It is Eloisa, no 'u', I am sure. Your work colleague's parents made a mistake. People do. Besides the sound is a bit different , should be 'ell-oh-eeza', not 'ell-oo-eeza', like Louisa, as you get with the incorrect spelling.

I mean back in the early 20th century my great grandparents named their daughter Gladwys because, not being Welsh they didn't realise the proper Welsh spelling is Gwladys. They couldn't be bothered to research. There was no Internet then but there were libraries.

Isadora is nice
Louisa is nice
Eloise is nice
Elizabeth is nice

Its both ways. I like the U i don't know why. And i don't mind either pronunciation.

Thanks @Holly60

Just call her Louisa then? Louisa is nice.

It is nice @Pemba but I prefer Elouisa

The 'warrior' meaning goes with Louisa. The derivation of Eloisa is thought to be 'healthy and wide (!). Such a pretty name though. Just Google a bit, you will see.

' Elouisa' is just a mash up of the two names. But I can see that you don't really care so I will leave it now.

It is nice @Pemba but I prefer Elouisa

I just see Louse in that one. It looks like a spelling mistake. A few of us have posted the same. Teachers and employers will probably think it too

You all have fab names. I think Isadora goes well with the rest.

Isadora is lovely, unusual but pronounceable. ( I think )
Is it Iza-dora ?

I really like Elizabeth too.

Sorry but I really don’t like Crystalina. I like jewel names though. Sapphire, Emerald, Chrysoprase.

Adeline, shortened to Adie?

Isn't it Isidora?

Yeah I like that but I already have a daughter called Adelaide!

No, i think that's a hotel name... Maybe not
