[Opinions] Elaria ?
I only discovered this name yesterday, poking around the internet. It's a medieval form of Eulalia, used in England, although it looks (sounds?) similar to Ilaria or Hilaria
I looked it up on FamilySearch as I was suspicious, but, sure enough, it's been used occasionally over the centuries in England.Do you like Elaria - perhaps in a combo such as Elaria Jane - or do you think it's too outlandish?It could be a fn source for nn Ellie

Interesting; sound is pleasant; sure does *seem* like it would be associated with Hilaria. Brings Elora to mind, which I still prefer because I enjoy the long "o" sound, but Elaria is nice. Elaria Jane works, I think, as Jane has a straight-forward elegance. I wouldn't want to pair anything too complicated with Elaria, given four syllables and plenty of vowel sounds already. Thanks for introducing it. :)

I love Elaria. It is a great find.Elaria Jane is a great combo. I think they go well together.I love the nn Ellie. It is such a cute and spunky nn. It is one of my favorite nn's. I'm always on the lookout for names for the nn Ellie. It is my sisters absolute favorite nn but she likes it for a girl named Elliott. My favorites were always Elspeth and Elsa. But I think I like Elaria more than those two.I also like Eulalia and Ilaria, but I prefer Elaria.
