They’re incredibly different names!! I love [name_u]Arden[/name_u] but I can’t use it as I’m living in a Spanish-speaking country and it means “they burn”

Bleh, [name_f]Elanor[/name_f] will be confused with [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] all the time, so no
[name_m]Montgomery[/name_m] sounds like an old male farmer’s name to me
Illyria is pretty but a little too much for a little girl
I really like [name_u]Arden[/name_u] though, so thats what I voted for :slight_smile: I think it would be fine on a girl

I like [name_f]Elanor[/name_f] Because of [name_m]Lord[/name_m] of the rings
Yeah nerdy

I would use [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f].

I agree with @boyandgirl, I would also use [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f].

I like [name_u]Arden[/name_u] out of the choices. It will be spelled and pronounced correctly and sounds cute for a little girl.

[name_f]Elanor[/name_f]! [name_u]Love[/name_u] it, it’s association with Middle [name_f]Earth[/name_f] makes me love this spelling even more so, in Sindarin the name means ‘[name_f]Sun[/name_f]-[name_f]Star[/name_f] [name_f]Flower[/name_f]’, lovely name :slight_smile:

[name_m]Montgomery[/name_m] for a girl? No.

[name_u]Arden[/name_u] seems the most straightforward to me. Illyria is very pretty but ambiguous in pronunciation (is it ih-LEER-ee-uh? ih-[name_m]LY[/name_m]-ree-uh?). I appreciate [name_f]Elanor[/name_f]'s Tolkien connection but you’ll probably have to correct people on the spelling. I associate [name_m]Montgomery[/name_m] with elderly men and can’t imagine it on a girl.

My favourite by far is Illyria. It’s a gorgeous, exotic name that sounds beautiful, but is interesting and unusual too. [name_u]Arden[/name_u] and [name_m]Montgomery[/name_m] seems very masculine and surnamey, and [name_f]Elanor[/name_f] just doesn’t have the same imagery as Illyria does in my opinion. Despite the LOTR connection, out loud it’s so similar to [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] I think it loses some of its spark.

Illyria is the most euphonious word/name I think I’ve ever heard, so I love it, but yeah, maybe it’s a bit much for a young child. It could have some lovely nicknames though - Lyri/Liri/Lyria?

Illyria is beautiful!

I’d choose Illyria! So beautiful and magical, and it’s the most interesting name out of the four in my opinion!

[name_f]Elanor[/name_f] would be my second choice, then [name_u]Arden[/name_u].

Ilyria is stunning.

[name_u]Arden[/name_u] is my favorite by far. It’s pretty but strong and can suit a girl from her childhood to adulthood.
[name_m]Montgomery[/name_m] - sounds like a name an old man would have, or a last name. Not a fan at all.
Illyria - pretty on paper, but I’m not 100% sure how it’s pronounced. The way I’m pronouncing it, it sounds like a disease.
[name_f]Elanor[/name_f] - will be confused with [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] too much, and I’m not a big fan of [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] to begin with.

All these names are very unique though and this is just my opinion. If you love any of them, go ahead and use it!
