Help with finding the perfect name! :)

Girl Names
1

I keep looking at names, and find that on my girls name list I am drawn to names that sound similar to my daughters name ([name]Eliana[/name] “el eee ah na”, nn [name]Ellie[/name]). I love that [name]Eliana[/name] is fairly unique (at least here), girly/flowery, but has a more common nickname with spunk. I think that maybe it would be helpful to look at nicknames first, and then the formal/longer name next.

So, what nicknames do you think go well with “[name]Ellie[/name]” …and then does the more formal name go well with [name]Eliana[/name]? :smiley:

thanks nameberrry’s! :slight_smile:

[name]Just[/name] a few suggestions you might like:
[name]Chiara[/name]
[name]Dahlia[/name]
[name]Ava[/name]
[name]Bianca[/name]
[name]Marcella[/name] (The -ella may be close to [name]Eliana[/name], but [name]Mara[/name] could be a nn instead of [name]Ella[/name])
[name]Adelina[/name]
[name]Amalia[/name]
[name]Gemma[/name]
[name]Rosalia[/name]
[name]Sofia[/name]
[name]Carina[/name]

Thanks for the suggestions!

[name]Ava[/name] - i don’t know what ava would be short for besides ava?
[name]Bianca[/name] - I like this name, but I have no idea what a nickname for it would be?

I am kind of looking for a name that is pretty and multisyllabic, but has a nickname that has spunk. I have a short list of names already, but for some reason I keep looking for a different name.

That is one of the drawbacks to the very beautiful [name]Ava[/name]- no easy nicknames. You could pair [name]Ava[/name] with a J middle and have her be AJ, but other than that I’m out of ideas. I love [name]Bee[/name] and Bia as nicknames for [name]Bianca[/name], if that suits your taste. I’ll offer a revised list of full, long, feminine names with cute nicknames:

[name]Olivia[/name]-[name]Liv[/name], [name]Lia[/name], [name]Livia[/name]
[name]Felicity[/name]-Fliss, Lissy
[name]Valeria[/name]-[name]Val[/name], [name]Ria[/name]
[name]Andrea[/name] (I think the on-DRAY-a pronunciation is better than [name]ANN[/name]-dree-a with [name]Eliana[/name])- [name]Andi[/name], [name]Drea[/name] (DRAY-a), [name]Rea[/name] ([name]RAY[/name]-a)
[name]Marina[/name]- [name]Mina[/name], [name]Mara[/name], [name]Mari[/name], [name]Rina[/name]
[name]Angelica[/name]- [name]Angie[/name], [name]Nica[/name]
[name]Alisia[/name] (a-[name]LEE[/name]-see-a)- [name]Lise[/name], [name]Lia[/name], Sia
[name]Angelina[/name]- [name]Angie[/name], [name]Lina[/name], [name]Nina[/name], [name]Gina[/name]
[name]Lidia[/name]/[name]Lydia[/name]- [name]Liddie[/name], [name]Dia[/name], [name]Lia[/name]
[name]Lucia[/name]- [name]Luci[/name], [name]Cia[/name], [name]Lia[/name]
[name]Emilia[/name]- [name]Emmy[/name], [name]Emma[/name], [name]Mia[/name], [name]Lia[/name], Mili
[name]Sabina[/name]/[name]Sabrina[/name]- [name]Bri[/name], [name]Brina[/name], [name]Bina[/name], [name]Bee[/name], Sab
[name]Leonora[/name]- [name]Lea[/name], [name]Leo[/name], [name]Nora[/name]
[name]Teresa[/name]- [name]Tess[/name], [name]Tessa[/name], [name]Reese[/name]
[name]Alexandra[/name]/[name]Alexandria[/name]- [name]Xan[/name], [name]Alex[/name], [name]Ria[/name], [name]Lexie[/name], [name]Alexi[/name]

[name]Eliana[/name] nn [name]Ellie[/name] is so cute! Here are some suggestions. Sorry for any repeats!

[name]Eliana[/name] “[name]Ellie[/name]” and…

[name]Genevieve[/name] nn [name]Genny[/name], [name]Evie[/name]
[name]Rosemary[/name] nn [name]Rosie[/name]
[name]Francesca[/name] nn [name]Frankie[/name]
[name]Sabrina[/name] nn [name]Bree[/name]
[name]Camilla[/name] nn [name]Cami[/name], [name]Millie[/name]
[name]Bianca[/name] nn [name]Bee[/name], [name]Bibi[/name]
[name]Annabel[/name] nn [name]Annie[/name]
[name]Lucia[/name] nn [name]Lucy[/name], [name]Lulu[/name]
[name]Adeline[/name]/[name]Adelina[/name] nn [name]Addy[/name]
[name]Aurora[/name] nn [name]Rory[/name]
[name]Tabitha[/name] nn [name]Tabby[/name]
[name]Magnolia[/name] nn [name]Maggie[/name]
[name]Cecelia[/name] nn Cece
[name]Matilda[/name] nn [name]Matty[/name], [name]Tilly[/name]

I really love [name]Sabrina[/name] with [name]Eliana[/name] ([name]Ellie[/name] and [name]Bree[/name], so cute!). I also think [name]Magnolia[/name] is really cute and unexpected with [name]Eliana[/name], and [name]Maggie[/name] is a sweet, vintage, familiar nickname.

Good luck!
