[name]Elena[/name]. It is beautiful and classic, just like you said…[name]Eliana[/name] is a bit too much for me, but I understand the appeal.
I like it with [name]Josephine[/name]: [name]Elena[/name] [name]Josephine[/name]
Eliana is a name I had never even heard of until recently. Elena on the other hand has history, class and the same girly qualities without the trendy factor. But if you don’t mind the trendy factor, then Eliana is pretty. Personally, I like Elena- especially nn Lainey.
Elena Charlotte is gorgeous!
Elena Josephine works well.
Eliana Charlotte works well.
Eliana Josephine seems a little too many syllable to me unless your LN is a single Syllable.
I love [name]Elena[/name]. It’s kind of clean and streamlined, yet still feminine and classy. I prefer it pronounced Eh-[name]LEE[/name]-nuh, rather than Eh-[name]LAY[/name]-nuh, though.
Either way, I much prefer it to [name]Eliana[/name], which is a bit too frilly and I don’t like the hard [name]ANA[/name] sound on the end.
[name]LOVE[/name] [name]Elena[/name]! I really wish I could use it but I can’t. Pretty, beautiful, classic and such an elegant name! I prefer the name pronounced as Eh-lay-nuh.
I’m planning on using [name]Helena[/name] pronounced Heh-lay-nuh, but am worried since [name]Elena[/name] is becoming more and more popular. She will just have to correct people often which will be a pain, but such is life! I love the name too much to give it up:) [name]Both[/name] [name]Eliana[/name] and [name]Elena[/name] are lovely; I’m sure your daughter will love her name either way. Obviously, I prefer [name]Elena[/name], though:)
[name]Elena[/name]'s so much easier to say, but [name]Eliana[/name] is so gorgeous and rare.
I really love [name]Elena[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name], and [name]Eliana[/name] [name]Josephine[/name].
I like the idea of [name]Elena[/name] [name]Seraphine[/name] most though, but I know it’s not an option.
I picked [name]Elena[/name]. 
I like both just about equally, but the clean look of [name]Elena[/name] appeals to me more. I do love the frills of [name]Eliana[/name], though! For combos, I would do [name]Elena[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name] and [name]Eliana[/name] [name]Josephine[/name]. Or maybe [name]Eliana[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name]. I like both MNs with [name]Eliana[/name], haha.
I agree with sunshine kid. [name]Eliana[/name] ia a bit much for me, but [name]Elena[/name] is beautifil and classic. If you like both of those names, what about [name]Elaina[/name]?
I choose [name]Elena[/name]. [name]Eliana[/name] just seems a bit much and the -ana names are extremely trendy right now. [name]Elena[/name] is timeless.
I chose [name]Eliana[/name] because it is on my list and I really like it! I have [name]Alaina[/name] on my list, so [name]Elena[/name] is pretty to me too.
