I strongly dislike Eliana so, I vote for Alexandra.

Eliana. Thought about naming my daughter that but I couldn't get away from Madeleine : : Eliana is beautiful though. Alexandra is also a great name but a little too common where I live.

Thanks. Alexandra has been my favorite forever, but I recently heard Eliana and thought it was beautiful. I think I'm destined to have boys, so it probably won't matter ; )

Dislike Eliana, but I think Alexandra is a beautiful name.

Alexandra is beautiful. I even like the nn Alex (especially over Lexi).

Thanks. I'll probably stick with my all time favorite : ) I love Elena too. Very pretty. My husband likes Eleni.

I really like both, with the slight edge going to Eliana.

I like both but tonight I am leaning Alexandra.  Classic and beautiful.

Thanks!!!

Eliana or Elena.  I would do Elena if one of my oldest friends wasn't Alana.  I'm biased against Alexandra (DS will be Alexander.  Our midwife is Alex.  DH STILL will not listen when I tell him Alex is unisex.)

Alexandra - classic and beautiful. 

AND your little girl can play pretend that she was Alexandra, Queen of the United Kingdom and Empress of India.  Hello, awesomest dress-up character ever getting to play a queen with your name.

I like both but I do prefer Alexandra over Eliana. I wouldn't use it though since DS is Alexander.

Eliana!!!! I've never liked Alexandra (don't like Alex on a girl for a NN either).

I have not heard Eliana before.  If it is a real name, then I'd go with this.  I think Alex- girls are a little overdone for me.
