Thoughts on Ellarie? (said like [name_f]Eleri[/name_f] or [name_u]Ellery[/name_u] - but we want to use either ‘[name_f]Ella[/name_f]’ or ‘[name_f]Aria[/name_f]’ to be a possible nicknames).
I think Ellarie sounds nice but looks made up. [name_m]Ellary[/name_m] might be a bit better. You could probably call [name_u]Ellery[/name_u] [name_f]Aria[/name_f] though.
I swear you wrote this post for me cause I’ve been thinking of making a similar post lol I’ve been super attracted to Elyra and Eliara lately but not quite sure if they’re the fit I want.
I’m not sure I have any new suggestions that haven’t been shared already, but as for spelling out Elle-see-ah or Ell-ah-ris, I’d go Elsia and Elarys or Elaris
And also I’d go with Ellaria vs Ellarie since it’s clearer for the nn options (plus Ellery/ Ellarie reminds me of celery)
For the spellings you asked about, I would go with [name_f]Elsia[/name_f] and [name_f]Ella[/name_f]-[name_u]Reese[/name_u]? (unless it is meant to be RISS, In which case… not sure).
I’m partial to [name_f]Eloisa[/name_f]! Pron. [name_f]EL[/name_f]-o-ee-sah (soft s), that’s what I named my daughter, with [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] for short.
