Eliora and Isaline

Girl Names

[name]Hi[/name], everyone!

I know that you’re probably tired of my threads… but I wanted to post this anyways. What do you think of the names [name]Eliora[/name] and [name]Isaline[/name]?”

My favorite girls name is [name]Isadora[/name], but I’m hearing it more often than I’d like… It’s not in the US Top 1000 yet, but I won’t be expecting anytime soon, and with the popularity of [name]Isabella[/name] and [name]Isabel[/name], I feel like it’s going to get a lot more popular. So, I was looking for alternatives, and found these two. ”

For nicknames, I can think of [name]Ellie[/name], [name]Ella[/name], [name]Elle[/name], [name]Lia[/name], [name]Lora[/name]/[name]Laura[/name], and [name]Ora[/name] for [name]Eliora[/name] and [name]Izzy[/name], [name]Isa[/name], [name]Sally[/name], and [name]Lina[/name] for [name]Isaline[/name]. Which is your favorite? ”

What do you think of:
[name]Eliora[/name] [name]Xanthe[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] ([name]Xanthe[/name] is zan-thee)
[name]Eliora[/name] Madelief [name]Anne[/name]
[name]Eliora[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name] [name]May[/name]
[name]Eliora[/name] [name]Juniper[/name] [name]Saffron[/name]-- Too naturey, maybe?
[name]Eliora[/name] [name]Sylvie[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] ”

[name]Isaline[/name] [name]Viola[/name] [name]Guinevere[/name]”
[name]Isaline[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Isaline[/name] [name]Miranda[/name] [name]Pearl[/name]-- Shakespearean middles were totally coincidental

Could you please vote for one or come up with another?”

[name]Do[/name] you think that these go with [name]Raphael[/name] and [name]Matthias[/name]?

Also, how do you envision an [name]Eliora[/name] or an [name]Isaline[/name]?

Thanks! :smiley: ”

[name]Hi[/name]!

I think [name]Isaline[/name] and [name]Eliora[/name] are both really pretty.

[name]Isaline[/name] is on my list of Obscure Names of Questionable Usability. I’m not sure exactly where I found it-- it’s not listed in Behind the Name, the site I go to to most for name searching. Where did you come across it? It seems like some kind of smush, so I don’t know how legitimate it is. I think it’s lovely, though… do you pronounce it iss-a-leen or ee-sa-li? I like [name]Isa[/name] and [name]Lina[/name] as nicknames. The one problem is that I see “I saline”…

I love all three combos, but [name]Ophelia[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name] and [name]Miranda[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] really stand out. [name]Isaline[/name] [name]Miranda[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name] would be nice, too.

[name]Eliora[/name] is nice too, even though I much prefer [name]Liora[/name], just like I prefer [name]Liana[/name] over [name]Eliana[/name]. The E just seems like an unnecessary add-on to me. [name]Ellie[/name] is such an overused nickname, so I prefer [name]Lia[/name] as a nickname. I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Eliora[/name] [name]Xanthe[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] and [name]Eliora[/name] Madelief [name]Anne[/name]!

I think [name]Eliora[/name] and [name]Raphael[/name] go together perfectly! [name]Isaline[/name] is a little more exotic than [name]Raphael[/name] or [name]Matthias[/name], but it works, I think.
