[Facts] pronunciation of Ela (Polish)
My wife and I are thinking of naming our daughter Ela, which in Polish is short for Elzbieta. I think Ela would be pronounced EL-a.Thoughts?Thanks!

My name is Ela, and it is short for Elanor, a name which comes from The Lord of the Rings, a made up name by Tolkien, as far as I know... and yes, that is how mine is pronounced.

It's pronounced exactly the same as the now popular Ella.===

I believe EL-a is indeed correctBut I'm not a Polish speaker, so I can't be 100% certain.As for opinions about the name Ela itself, that belongs on the Name Opinions board only.
