Lara, Eliara, Elara, Elea, Eliora, Elana

[misslucy92]

Which ones do you like and why?

Lara is beautiful. I wanted that for Dd but dp not keen! Your options all sound quite Russian I think so might be worth looking at other Russian origin names? Reminds me of Lilia and Aliona from strictly (dancers)

It's a Hebrew and Portuguese name. As it's so "out there" you're going to have people asking you if you're either of those really...

For any completely out there names, such as Eliara, there's a very thin line between cool & posh OR having I'm a chav tattooed on child's forehead.

Lara and Lana are two of my fave girl names, I know a Lana from school and she was lovely so that might swing it for me. I've never met a Lara.

Can I add Eliana to the mix - that's my favourite.

Only like Lara. The others are all too fussy/frilly and just seem like random strings of vowels. There are lots of girls with these sorts of names in my area and they all sort of merge together so none of the names feels distinctive.

I like Lana and Lara. Elin which is similar to your other names but less fussy perhaps

Lara!

Lara from your list. Iv got a Lana and I love it because there isn't many. We always get compliments on her name.

Eliana

I love arna names

Lara is a good, strong girl's name. The others sound fussy and/or made up.

This

Lara.

Lara definitely - the others sound like someone has made them up to try to be original. Generally when this is the case the poor child seems to spend their life spelling out their name to everyone.

Lara is the only one I like. I would have assumed that Elea was a trying to be different spelling of Elly if a previous poster hadn't said how it was pronounced. It would look like Flea quite easily. I find people shorten names a lot, so the lk ger ones you mentioned would probably end up with nicknames.

Lara has served me well for almost 47 years. However, believe it or not I have to spell it every time - not that that has bothered me. I've also had people unable to grasp that I'm not called Laura.

I think that Lana and Zara are lovely too.

@Neolara say hello to your 18yr old from me (another Lara 😃😃) - only wish I was 18 again 🤣😂

My name is Ellia - sounds similar- just putting it out there 😂

Lara, ok pretty name
Eliara,really lkke this
Elara, very pretty
Elea, not keen unsure why as i love El names
Eliora, pretty
Elana My favourite

What about
Elora
Eloisa
Elaria
I dont think putting Eliara next to Sophie Olivia and Ava would get it more votes its too unusual for many mn people
But perhaps if put next to
Mariana Floriana Frederika and Eliara it would work.

Imo many on mn likes the top 50 names and going outside is risky

Lara.

The others all smack of "I like Ellie and Ella but they're too popular so here's my variation," but in reality they will just blur into all the other names beginning with "El" which all feel really overused.

Lara (or Lana), by a mile, it’s a really strong, solid yet feminine name. I feel like it serves all ages and personalities well.

Your other names are ‘fussy’ and ‘frilly’ and questionable whether they’re made up unless you live in a surf town in Australia.

I really like Elara. I disagree it’s frilly like others say though I see how it fits into the pattern for popular name trends with the -an ending and that it’s vowel heavy. I think the r gives it some weight though. Also it’s a moon of Jupiter and a name from Greek mythology so not a randomly made up name. Maybe people will think that though given this thread.

-a ending

I still wouldn't have liked Eliara even in that new list. It just feels too much. Ella is nice. Ilaria is nice. Leah is nice. Lara is nice. All of them together is a bit of a mouthful!
But saying that, if you named your daughter this, she would grow into the name anyway and people would just accept it as her name

Lara I LOVE

The rest just sound like an anagram challenge
