what do you think girl name "Loa" & "Ellena"

Girl Names
1

[name_f]Loa[/name_f]
[name_f]Ellena[/name_f]

2

I like [name_f]Elena[/name_f] - I am not familiar with [name_f]Ellena[/name_f], I guess [name_f]Elena[/name_f] is e-[name_m]LEN[/name_m]-a and [name_f]Ellena[/name_f] is [name_f]Ellen[/name_f]-NA?

I don’t immediately like [name_f]Loa[/name_f], sounds like lower in many accents and just doesn’t appeal! But it might be meaningful to you and might be very wearable in a different context to mine.

I don’t immediately like [name_f]Loa[/name_f], sounds like lower in many accents and just doesn’t appeal. But if it’s culturally meaningful and in the right context, no reason my opinion matters all that much!

I’m unsure of how to pronounce [name_f]Ellena[/name_f]. I love [name_f]Elena[/name_f] (pronounced e-[name_m]LAY[/name_m]-na or ee-[name_m]LAY[/name_m]-na) but I would assume [name_f]Ellena[/name_f] is either [name_f]EL[/name_f]-len-na or el-[name_m]LEN[/name_m]-a.

I agree with PP about [name_f]Loa[/name_f] sounding like “lower” but I can see the appeal of the name, it feels tropical and reminds me of islands.
