Eliana
I met a little girl at a little party today named Ellie. When she and her mom went to leave, she said Eliana. I thought it was really pretty, just trying to get used to the way it looks...Thoughts?

Eliana is a beautiful name.

Eliana has been my favorite girl's name for a long, long time. It just rolls off the tongue and sounds sweet and feminine, and yet not over-the-top frilly. I don't like the nickname Ellie for it, though. If I were to get to use Eliana for a daughter, she would be called by her full name.

I think Eliana is very pretty! I also think using Ellie as a nicknam for it is sad, as I don't find Ellie nice at all.
Chloe Eliana feels like two very different styles to me.
Gwyneth Eliana too. I don't really like Gwyneth or Eleanor, but Gwyneth Eleanor is better than Gwyneth Eliana.

I'm not a fan at all. It just annoys me, and has little oomph to it.Eleanor or Elizabeth are worlds better for Ellie.

I love Eliana! It's one of my all-time faves. I couldn't use it, of course, as I'm Elena with a dd named Anna. I like Ellie as well, but it seems like kind of a waste here when she could be called Eliana. ;-)

I find it whiny and weightless -- I much prefer Elaine.

I think this is more or less the worst name ever. There's nothing about it that ties it down, it is a long boring string of substanceless syllables. It is like a name simply designed to make everyone think it's the most beautiful name ever. It's like a photoshopped magazine cover. It is completely vacuous. Nothing is good about it. I would rather name my daughter a long list of things than Eliana.Butters

I quite like it. I considered it for my third child. It fitted my criteria- Italian, not popular, soft and feminine sounding. But I had a boy so.....lol.
I wouldn't spell it any other way. I think any other spellings would verge on looking to creative, which I really hate. Ellyana Elyanah Elianah etc.
I really don't like the name Chloe and I don't think it fits to well with Eliana.
I'm not sure why it's showing up as a spelling mistake, that is the correct spelling and the name is in the database...so??? Not sure.
NN that might work:
Elle
Ellie
Liana
Ana
Lia

More questionsWhat nicknames could be used without stretching too far?
What style of name is Eliana?
Are there other acceptable ways to spell Ellie ana?
How does Chloe Eliana sound?
How about Gwyneth Eliana, is it better than Gwyneth Eleanor?
Why is this site showing this name as a spelling mistake?

Ella, Elle, Eli, Elli, Elly, Ellie, Elia, Lia, Li, Ana, Liana
It's leaning toward popular-style names, but it's not popular itself
Not in my opinion!
Eh, ok, but I don't really like it. It's too princessy.
Gwyneth Eliana is good, but Gwyneth Eleanor is better!
Because it feels like it :P

Ellie, Elle, Ana if you want to be vomitous
Prissy and vacuous and crappy
Elianna, Eliona, Elliana, Elyana, Elyona, ElyAHHHHHHHHWna please unsaddle the princely pony and come inside your buttered scones are getting cold the butler is getting impatient holding the door
Fine
It's fine and NO
It's not the site, it's your browser, and browsers are really dumb about spelling. For instance, it is counting vomitous as a spelling mistake for me.

I hope my response was light hearted enough not to cause offense...

Offense? Not even in the slightest.

I didn't answer your question about Gwyneth Eliana in my other post. Personally, I think Gwyneth Eleanor is much better. They seem to work better together. Gwyneth Eliana seems a little mismatched to me.
