Let me know your opinions

DD1’s best friend is Eliana and it suits her so well!

That’s my sister’s name! It’s Italian. Pronounced the Italian way, it’s El-Yanna (3 syllables, not 4). It’s shortened to Ellie or Lili.

I’ve rarely heard it used by anyone else, especially in UK. My sister is 75 now. I have a very 60s name, being born in 62!

I think it's a lovely name very pretty.
I would pronounce it with four syllables in the Italian way.
A few possible nn on this name, which is nice as it will give your DD a choice.

Very nice

My 11 yr old is called Eliana. We chose it based on the meaning. ( Answered by God) We knew she'd be born with heart defects and figured we needed some prayers answered. Nobody ever shortens it's to Ellie.

It’s lovely OP , so feminine 🥰 .. I know you haven’t asked for opinions on other names, but I’d like to share this lovely name .. Annalise ..
Pronounced Annaleese ..
I think so feminine also ..

My daughter is nearly 10 and she’s called Eliana.
A lot of people pronounce and spell it wrong.
We have a few shortened names for her
Eli
Els
Elsie
She loves her name and I’ve only come across one other with this name.

That pronunciation is pretty. It's the Ellie-Arnuh one I don't like.

I am personally not a fan and I agree with fussy/frilly comments. It depends on what you like in a name but it doesn’t pack enough of a punch for me.

It's a suburb of Valencia to me, but sounds pretty.

It's pretty, but too frilly for me.

Lovely name

I love arna names.

i really dislike Ellie though.

My youngest is Elaina. Easier to pronounce, less mix up or need to correct the pronunciation and shortened to Ellie unless she's in trouble. I think with kids names you've really got to think about how many times they will need to correct people during their everyday lives.

Beautiful name

Love it beautiful name

Wow , it is beautiful pronounced that way , love it actually ❤️
