[name_f]Eliana[/name_f] Orellano is a bit of a mouthful, so my vote is for [name_f]Natalie[/name_f]. You’ve probably been asked this, but would you consider [name_f]Natalia[/name_f]? I like it with your last name, and it rolls of the tongue easier than [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] Orellano. [name_f]IMO[/name_f]
I’m going to say [name_f]Natalie[/name_f] just because in every post I’ve seen of yours, you keep coming back to [name_f]Natalie[/name_f], which makes me think it’s the name you like best.
I think [name_f]Natalie[/name_f] sounds great with your last name. [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] is hard for me to say with your last name but if you like it better it’s not awful.
Ok, so I truly think I prefer [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] more than [name_f]Natalie[/name_f] because down deep I think the heritage is important to me. Thanks for all the great feedback!
Ok, so I think I prefer [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] more because I think it sounds more ethnic and beautiful…fits her more with her hispanic heritage. Having said that, how bad is the flow of [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] Florentino? Would you still consider it usable? Our surname is actually really a difficult one to flow with especially with the types of Italian/spanish ones that I like.
I really find [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] Orellano too difficult to say, sorry.
I think [name_f]Natalie[/name_f] is a beautiful name, and that gets my vote.
More vote for [name_f]Eliana[/name_f].
I love both, but I think [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] Orellano sounds lovely.
[name_f]Susan[/name_f]
I had just posted on your other thread…of the two choices here, I prefer [name_f]Eliana[/name_f], even though [name_f]Natalie[/name_f] is a bit easier to say w/your last name. [name_f]Natalia[/name_f] is very pretty (& you could always use the nn [name_f]Tasha[/name_f] if you wanted a two-syllable nn), but it sounds like [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] is really what’s appealing to you. And it’s not like you’re choosing a cartoony name like [name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_u]Piper[/name_u]!
I think [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] Orellano has a romantic, literary sound.
I am liking [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] more now. [name_f]Natalie[/name_f] is just seeming too common and American sounding, but I need more advice on [name_f]Eliana[/name_f]. What kind of vibe do you get from [name_f]Eliana[/name_f]? I thought of it as an international sounding name and I haven’t heard it too much, but I see it has been climbing the charts quickly and in the top 100 now. I am concerned that it may sound like a modern trendy name. I don’t like modern trendy names, especially made-up ones. For example I do not like the whole chain of [name_u]Aiden[/name_u], [name_u]Jayden[/name_u], [name_m]Cayden[/name_m] names or the Laylas, Kaylas, Mckaylas. Does [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] sound like a modern made up name by combining [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] and [name_f]Ana[/name_f] ? What kind of vibe does [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] have for you?
I greatly prefer [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] - she’s sweet, yet zesty, and no, I don’t think she sounds too ‘modern trendy’ (as asked above) at all. She’s lovely, and although there are many repeated letters/sounds in [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] and the surname, I actually really like the rhythmic and whimsical flow.
I find [name_f]Natalie[/name_f] to be rather dated (at least here) - she’s nice enough, but just nothing too special, you know?
I think [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] would be beautiful! Honouring ones heritage is always a wonderful way to name. I think you might regret it if you don’t.
[name_f]Eliana[/name_f] is gorgeous!
[name_f]Eliana[/name_f] is very pretty and flows well. I like it better than [name_f]Natalie[/name_f], and no need to worry so much!
Interesting. I know 49-60 year old women named [name_f]Alana[/name_f] and [name_f]Elana[/name_f] so [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] seems so much more fresh to me.
I absolutely love [name_f]Eliana[/name_f]! I agree with your decision to eliminate [name_f]Natalie[/name_f].
