Lara, Eliara, Elara, Elea, Eliora, Elana

[misslucy92]

Which ones do you like and why?

If I had to choose, Elana or Lara. Less chance of having to correct or explain spelling as a child grows up.

I like them all. I think Eliora is really pretty.
I also love Elana. I'm assuming it is pronounced like Alana, but think it looks really pretty with an E.

I've also heard Aloria which is nice, and Elora.

Lara, out of your list. Other suggestions:

Lyra
Elena
Ilaria
Eloise
Elise

Lara. The others are all just meh

Ileana and Ilaria are both very pretty alternatives, and are “ real” names

I like simple and chic rather than fussy sounds.
Therefore I choose Lara.
Have you thought of Alanna?

Another vote for Lara!

Lara.
Eliara, Elara, Elea, Eliora, Elana all look like made-up Ellie name.

Lara is the only one I have ever seen used as a name before. It's not quite my thing, but I like rather than dislike it.

I think I like Eliora best of the "Eli-variations" but I would probably choose a more established variant, probably Elina or Eliana.

My favourite name at the moment is Elena (pronounced Elaina) which is similar to your suggestions.

I know or a few Lara’s, all of them would be described as a bit rough. None are nice people, it does often get confused for Laura too. Always makes me think of Cilla Black tbh

i like Elana, the others seem a bit made up.

Lara

Lara definitely! A lovely name. The 2 Laras I have taught have been lovely and quite posh.
