What do you think of the name Eliza for a little girl? We like the nn Ellie, but I don't really like any of the full name choices (Eleanor, Elizabeth, etc).
It's my number two girl name right now, I think, but in my mind it's a NN for Elizabeth. I know it's also used as a standalone name, but doesn't seem like it would be shortened.
I'm not a fan of Eliza, but I think that's just because I have a negative association with it. It's not a bad name overall. I don't really care for Ellie as a nickname though, because the sounds are different. I could see Eleanor with Ellie but not so much Eliza with Ellie.
It's my top choice but DH won't go for it. Will most likely be her mn. DH says it's because he can't comfortably say the E part and it comes out Uh-liza. Also because I can't stand Liza and I fear I'll always be correcting people. And we have several BOYS named Elijah in my hall and I could see it confused. Still, I ask DH almost daily if we can't just go with it.
I like Eliza, just Eliza. Nickname Ellie is adorable. I also like Eleanor and Elizabeth but if you prefer Eliza, go for it. It is a feminine, original name that will age well.
I know a girl who's a total homewrecker with this name- she ONLY dates married men.... ugh it makes me angry just thinking about her. But that's just my own personal hang up.
The name itself isn't my style, but it's growing on me.

I like Eliza as a stand alone name. I think Ellie is most commonly a nickname for Eleanor, but my niece is Ellie as a nn from Elizabeth. I think it is becoming a super popular nickname and there will likely be a lot of Ellie's running around.
It's one of our top girl names! If we have 2 girls, they will be Eliza Frances and Alice ____? If we have a boy and a girl, they will be Eliza and Oliver.
Not a fan. I just met a little girl named Eliza (just Eliza) and it isn't cute to me. Ellie is better, but I don't love that name either. I love Elizabeth though.
