E names for Alessandra's younger sister

Girl Names
1

*Note: [name]Alessandra[/name] is just a thought in her hopeful-future-mother’s mind at this moment.

[name]Elena[/name] was my top pick, but now I’m rethinking is for something a bit less heard but still Italian:
[name]Elettra[/name] - “shining one”
[name]Eliana[/name] - “sun”
[name]Elisa[/name] - “pledged to God”
[name]Elisabetta[/name] - “pledged to God”
[name]Eloisa[/name] - “healthy; wide”
[name]Evelina[/name] - supposedly “wished for child”

Thoughts? Is one of the above better, or should I stick with [name]Elena[/name]?

2

[name]Elisabetta[/name] is my favorite-- it goes great with [name]Alessandra[/name] and has lots of cute nns!

3

Agreed. [name]Alessandra[/name] and [name]Elisabetta[/name] are perfect together.

4

Ditto. I love [name]Elisabetta[/name].

5

[name]Elisabetta[/name] was the suggestion that I had as soon as I read the title of this post.

6

[name]Elisabetta[/name]. I think [name]Elena[/name] would feel short changed (albeit a beautiful name)

What about [name]Eleonora[/name] or [name]Emanuela[/name]?

7

[name]Evelina[/name]! [name]Alessandra[/name] and [name]Evelina[/name]

8

I immediately thought of [name]Elisabetta[/name] too! It’s equally long, pretty, and Italian. I love [name]Elena[/name] too but it looks short next to [name]Alessandra[/name].

9

I’ve never been a big fan of [name]Elena[/name]…from your list I like [name]Eliana[/name] and [name]Elisa[/name]
however I may be a little bias because if I have a girl her middle name is going to be [name]Elise[/name] :wink:
[name]Elisabetta[/name] I’m not too sure about. I have never heard it before, reminds me of The Elizabeathan [name]Era[/name]

10

I like [name]Eloise[/name] with [name]Alessandra[/name].

11

I also think that [name]Alessandra[/name] and [name]Elisabetta[/name] are perfect together. [name]Both[/name] are beautiful, flowing Italian forms of classic, royal names.

12

[name]Elisabetta[/name] seems overly frilly and fussy to me. It also seems a tad predictable and the least adventurous choice. With [name]Alessandra[/name], I would choose…

1 [name]Evelina[/name]
2 [name]Elena[/name]
3 [name]Emilia[/name] or [name]Estella[/name] (my picks)

13

I really dislike [name]Elena[/name]. It’s so overused. I think [name]Evelina[/name] and [name]Alessandra[/name] sound lovely together. I love [name]Evelina[/name]'s meaning too :slight_smile:

14

[name]Elettra[/name]! It’s so beautiful and sweet. Sounds lovely with [name]Alessandra[/name]. [name]Elisabetta[/name] is a bit too similar to [name]Alessandra[/name] for my taste.

15

I like [name]Elena[/name]. [name]Emilia[/name] would also be nice.

16

[name]Elena[/name] is one of my faves too, but I really like [name]Elisabetta[/name] and [name]Evelina[/name] on your list as well. [name]Lovely[/name] choices!
I knew someone that used [name]Evalena[/name]. (ev-ah-lee-na) It isn’t used often, but it seems like it would be more popular.
[name]Alessandra[/name] and [name]Elisabetta[/name] go really well together since they are both longer names. The nickname options for [name]Elisabetta[/name] are numerous, but I love [name]Bette[/name] or [name]Bets[/name] or even [name]Betta[/name]. :slight_smile:

17

Oh thanks so much! I love [name]Evalena[/name]! It’s on the list.
