Love [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]!! [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] and [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] tie for my least favourite.

They’re all nice but [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] is probably my favorite. [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] is least favorite, only because it’s so popular and gotten overused in my area at least. [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] is the most unique.

I love the name [name_f]Isabella[/name_f], used to like the name [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], and do not like [name_f]Eliana[/name_f].

I have a beautiful small doll from my mother I named [name_f]Isabella[/name_f]. I’ve always thought it a lovely name, though to be honest [name_u]Twilight[/name_u] leading to myriad Bellas has put me off it (I teach high school!). But the name without [name_f]Bella[/name_f] I still love (and enjoy the nn [name_f]Bel[/name_f]).

I wanted to name one of my twelve imagined daughters [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] as a child ([name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_u]Louise[/name_u]!). I was inspired by [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_m]Walton[/name_m] and [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_m]Newton[/name_m]-[name_m]John[/name_m]. But then I taught a billion Olivias so now I no longer even like it. [name_f]Livia[/name_f] feels fresh and lovely though and [name_f]Olive[/name_f] reminds me of that darling funny dog on YouTube (to me it is not an insult to call a name a dog name). :slight_smile:

Eliana and the other names like that seem to be getting hugely popular. I missed the boat on that trend. Give me a good strong [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] any day.

I forgot to add that a nice way to get close to [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] without the likely [name_f]Bella[/name_f] nn is [name_f]Isadora[/name_f].

Isadora, [name_f]Octavia[/name_f], [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] would be my slight tweaks were I naming a baby.

  1. Olivia
  2. Eliana
  3. Isabella

Favorite [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], then close by [name_f]Isabella[/name_f], then way way towards the back [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] :smiling_imp:

Isabella is my favorite! I suppose I’d classify [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] as my least favorite but that sounds so harsh, I’m just more neutral.

Isabella and [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]! Of those two, [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] :slight_smile:

I know way too many [name_f]Isabella[/name_f]’s which taints this name for me. [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] is lovely and a family name but I wouldn’t use it. I would use [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] in a heart beat. [name_u]Love[/name_u] the combination of sounds!

Hi there.

That’s hard. I think my favorite is [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]. It’s such a good balance of bold, romantic, feminine & classic. And I love love [name_f]Livy[/name_f]. But [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] with the nns Ibbi, [name_u]Izzy[/name_u] & [name_f]Bella[/name_f] is so pretty as well. And I like [name_f]Eliana[/name_f], because I have a soft spot for Hebrew names. And I love [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Ani[/name_f], [name_f]Ana[/name_f]. So, in conclusion, they’re all great! But [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] is my favorite by a tiny bit. :slight_smile:

Isabella is definitely my favorite. It’s an elegant classic! :slight_smile:

Eliana is definitely my favorite! [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] is #2, and [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] #3.

I know lots of little Isabellas and I’m not big on [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] so my vote is for [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]!

Olivia is classy and fun.

IMO

I love [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] and would have loved to have named a future daughter [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]! But unfortunately my parents also really liked the name and I have a sister who’s middle name is [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]. I love [name_f]Liv[/name_f] or [name_f]Livy[/name_f] :smiley:.

My second favourite would be [name_f]Isabella[/name_f]. A few years ago this was one of my favourite names, but I just know so many Bellas, Ellas and Izzys that it’s lost a lot of it’s sparkle to me. But its still beautiful and I would consider using it as a middle name.

I think [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] is very pretty, but unfortunately I am not a fan of the nickname [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]/Elly. I love [name_f]Elle[/name_f] or [name_f]Lia[/name_f] but every [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] I’ve met (3) has gone by [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] and I just feel that nickname is unavoidable. I do think it’s pretty but it’s just not doing it for me. I love similar names with the [name_f]El[/name_f] prefix - [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_f]Eloise[/name_f], [name_f]Elodie[/name_f]. I also really like [name_f]Liana[/name_f].

Eliana is favorite.
