Eliza??

[AussieMNer]

I adore the name Eliza and am considering it for my DD due in July but lately I've been hearing it everywhere! Is it just me or is it becomming quite popular??

I love that name!! Not come across any around here recently

I'm hearing it everywhere too. I love it though and if I had another DD would use it but would call her Betty. Is that weird?

i like that, not heard it around my way.

It is becoming more popular recently - but still not very common. I would go for it, she is still likely to be the only Eliza in her school!

Don't know of any round here

Beautiful name. I'm sure it is becoming more popular but isn't v common yet.

Lovely!

The only one I know is 36 years old.

Lovely name!

Ooh, I love that name!! [sigh]
I thought it was becoming popular a few years ago, but I haven't met any for ages. I don't think it's that common.

Winky, I think that's a bit odd, but not so strange that you shouldn't do it!! I know a little girl known as Daisy because her middle name is Marguerite. A bit complicated, but who cares?

DD1 has Eliza as one of her middle names...I havent heard anyone called it around here.

Beautyful name....have not come across any little Eliza's, so, can't comment on how hip it is right now...

Lovely!

It could take off in popularity though.I know of a baby Eliza

I know one, she's 5. I think it is likely to take off but you might just get in first. It's lovely and on my short list if I ever have another DD.

I know two - one of 8 and one of 5.
Lovely name, but might be rising in popularity, so if that would bother you i would play it safe and avoid it.

Lovely. There is one at DD's nursery who must be about 18 months old (and DD is Elizabeth so technically I could call her Eliza for short ).

Love it!!!

Was one of out top 3 choices for DD, along with Elizabeth and the name we caled her

Like the name but would be worried she might be called Liz which I don't like. I'm looking for a name for DC2 that would go with DD1's (Eva) which this would. Would love a boy this time but have a feeling it will be another girl. I have loads of boys names I like but really struggle with girls' names.

Love it - was my choice for dd2 but DH couldn't be persuaded as he was worried about it being shortened.

Love it and dc 3 would have been Eliza, but seemed a bit of an odd choice for a boy!!!

Do it!

I think it is lovely-I also like Liz so shortening wouldn't worry me.

love it

my dc 6yr is called that

Lovely. I'm jealous. I wanted to call dd2 Eliza but I was shouted down. Still regret it 14 years later. Go for it!

Lovely name. Very popular around here.

yay! love it. tis dd2's middle name but i thought of it in a morphine -induced- post c-section- stupour and wasnt brave enought to go for it as a first name, but kinda regret it as it would suit her so well as a first name.
