Ellia

Today, I met a little girl named Ellia (Ell-E-Uh) and maybe shame on me, but I like it . Will just have to stay on the GP list for awhile .

Too much for me. I'd rather see Ellie or Ella.

Don't like it at all.

Ehhh...keep that one GP. It looks like another made up cutesy name to me.

So is Ellia kind of like Aaliyah?  The pronunciation seems similar.

Ellia is a GP name for me, too. 

I've done some research on it, and it seems to be a different spelling of the male name Elia (Italian and Dutch form of Elijah according to behindthename.com). 

I would never use it, but I like the sound.

I had an Elia as a co-worker.  Love the name, could not stand the woman.  I'd use it if it didn't remind me of her.

I want to like it, but I don't.  I like Elle and Ellie....I just can't get behind this one.

It's not horrible, but I am just so over all names "El" -- I am honestly even re-thinking Elizabeth.

@joy2611-- I know!  All valid points.  It's still on my list but I think it may be getting edged out.

Elizabeth goes so well with Josephine though.

I still love Eleanor, but the Elle/Ellie/Ella thing is a bit of a downer.  I would always call her Eleanor, but I'm sure that her peers would eventually use one of those nicknames.

Ellia reminds me of Ilya which is a Russian male name.....nope nope nope.

Interesting ... I'm Russian and that was not something that came to mind .

I know a little girl named Elia (el-ee-ah) and a grown man (eh-lie-ah). It's meh to me, but not the worst name ever.

I find this difficult to say... Like I have marbles in my mouth. Not a fan.
