We are having such a hard time finding a name for Eliana’s little sister. Would love all the suggestions we can get any other names that you think would compliment, would help a ton! last name is Huezo (way-zoe) here are some names we have so far…
Obv you’re considering a lot of E names - is this going to cause issues down the road (where you feel you have to continue with the E theme)?
I think all of them work - except Evelina, Evangelina, and Aleni are visually and aurally too close to Eliana for me. I would cross them off the list.
I like Alora, Amarelle, Amyra & Calista if you want to go for something fresh and unexpected. They’re all very pretty (though I must say I’m not sure I’m pronouncing Amyra correctly - Ah-MY-rah or Ah-MEER-ah). Arabella and Aurora are more familiar - I prefer Arabella generally but wonder if Aurora goes better with Eliana.
I wouldn’t choose a second E name myself but if I had to it would be Esmerie or Emriella, probaby Esmerie because it is less similar to Eliana (Emriella seems to eclipse Eliana - depends if you like Eli & Emri - ie you might want matchy?).
Thank you for your thoughtful reply! I was thinking that about the Es as well. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband is the one who wants to stay with the Es lol but he’s not set on it.
I’m stuck with [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] and [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], too. And like you said, they are more familiar.
I like [name_f]Calista[/name_f] - [name_u]Cali[/name_u] & [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] sound cute. [name_f]Amyra[/name_f] (you pronounced it right) and [name_f]Alora[/name_f] are ones my husband and I agree on, but not hooked.
I really appreciate your help and time!! This time around is not easy. [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] was the first name we heard, and we knew it right away lol
I would aim to choose a name that sounds quite different from [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] (which is gorgeous by the way) or a natural nickname of it. One of my favourites on your list is [name_f]Alora[/name_f] but it may get shortened to [name_u]Allie[/name_u] and you could have an [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] so that would be much too close. I would choose [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] or [name_f]Calista[/name_f] as they are lovely and go nicely with [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] without being matchy. If you do decide to use nicknames both [name_u]Rory[/name_u] and [name_f]Callie[/name_f] are cute.
It did occur to me after that [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] gets [name_f]Bella[/name_f] for short, and [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] gets Ellie/Ella so this might be too close too. Same for Emriella & Amarelle -Eli and [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]! (Need to stay away from [name_f]Elle[/name_f] names basically!)
I think [name_f]Amyra[/name_f], [name_f]Calista[/name_f] & [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] (Mimi, [name_u]Cali[/name_u] & Rory) are by far your best options. (Esmerie is OK but I’d avoid the E.)
