It's NMS. I prefer Eleanor, Elizabeth or Eloise. Also, and I know that this is not true, my initial reaction is always 'this name is made-up', because it just fits too well into the whole Ellie/girly/frilly-trend.
I never know how to pronounce this one. El-ee-ana/El-eye-ana. Either way I think it sounds a bt clunky almost. I don't find that the Eli sound and the ana sound seem to fit. I would prefer El-eye-ah or A-lee-ah

Thank you so much for all of the honest feedback! This is really helpful! I definitely see what some people are saying about it sounding made up (even if it's not). The more I say it out loud, the more I get that feeling.

It's a real name, not made up, is pretty, just not necessarily my style. The popularity is rising but it isn't sky high like others.
If you love the name, use it.
It is frilly and girly, but those are the names I love, sweet and pretty name.
