Lara, Eliara, Elara, Elea, Eliora, Elana

[misslucy92]

Which ones do you like and why?

Lara is my favourite. Not keen on the others they're a bit frilly for me.
What about just Elora.

Lara (or Laura?) the others are too fussy for me.

Lara it's lovely , not common (as in not over used) and not 'how do you spell that' ...for which she will love you forever . I know this !

Lara

Lara for me, also like Leanora and Leander

Would you consider Elaria?

otherwise Elana is very cool.

I dislike all of them except Lara, which is fine

I have an Elea. Never met another. We pronounce the spanish/ Italian way of eh lay ah

Definitely Lara. Lovely name.

The others just seem like a random mishmash of letters (sorry).

Unsolicited suggestions - Leonora and Leonie.

Another vote for Lara.

Lara for me.

Had my DS been a DD he would have been Lara. It's such a beautiful name, short, sweet and easy to spell and pronounce.

Lara is fine. The rest are frilly/fussy.

I like Elaria more. Alana is nice. Lara is ok.

Lara.

I have a Lara who is 18. She told me the other day she has never met another Lara.

I only like Lara from your list

Lara

Lara is pretty and the only name that doesn't look made up (apologies as they are probably all perfectly valid names).

Lara is lovely.

DD (10) has a friend called Eliana (she is half Italian); pron. Elle-ee-ah-nah with the stress on the third syllable. But no-one seems to find it that difficult to pronounce! I think it’s lovely.

I met a little girl recently called Amadea, which really grew on me!

Out of these I only like Lara. How about Leora?

Lara is a lovely name. The rest sound like you made them up! They are terrible - far too tricky to spell and difficult to pronounce.

Lara - Like it (reason sounds nice)
Eliara - Mouthful
Elara - Mouthful
Elea - Substitute E for F spelling wise (bullying)
Eliora - there used to be an orange squash in the 80s called kia-ora so it reminds me of that.
Elana - too much like Alanna

Laura the rest sounds like a bad version of apple products where the letter e is stuck infront of everything

Thanks so far!

Would you say the same thing if I had just asked about Eliara, for example?

Is it and on its own or does it just feel overwhelming when put next to similar names?

For example if I put it in here: Emma, Ruby, Sophie, Grace, Eliara, Charlotte, Annabelle, Ava would it feel less made up?

just wondering

I meant to say „is it bad on its own or only feel that way when combined with similar names“?
