  I like Ellianna better, but it seems like a lot of letters is that how it is spelt?

  I agree with your husband. Ellianna is less common. I know 2 Ella Grace's under age 4, but whatever you decide it's a gorgeous name. A friend on FB named her daughter Audrianna (nn Audrey) which I think is cute. GL !

  I like names that aren't used as much. Ellianna used to be on my name list. I really like that one. Its less used than Ella

  I'd trim it down a bit and go with Eliana.  Same pronunciation, but streamlined.  I agree with PP that it seems like too many letters the way your DH has it spelled.

  I noramally see it spelled Eliana but I think that might change the way its pronounced...

  Ellianna. I am over Ella and also over Ella Grace. I've heard it quite a few times.

  I love Eliana but prefer it spelled more simply. I feel Ella makes a good nickname, but for me doesn't leave many options.

  I guess I'm in the minority, as I know more Ellianna's than Ella's.  Personally, I prefer Ella.  It sounds more classic and is generally just a prettier name, in my opinion.

  Definately Eliana!

  If you want that long anna part at the end (which is different than ana) I would spell it like Elianna. The double ll and then nn are a bit much. I'm not exaclty sure how you are pronouncing it.

  I have a friend named Eliana and I think it's just a beautiful name.

  I love Ellianna, and you can still use Ella or Elli as a nickname.

  Love Eliana (although Ella has a wonderful, simple, classic, sophisticated feel to it even though I know it is popular!)

  My coworker just named her baby Eliana.. nn "Eli:  (Eh-lee).  Very cute imo.. I like it with less letters vs Ellianna too.

  My friend's 6-year-old daughter is named Grace Eliana... so I'm leaning towards Eliana Grace (spelled with the one L and one N).  Though Ella is nice too.

  Eliana. the 2 Ls is overkill, but Ella is a non-name.

  I love both names! But Eliana (spelt this way) wins by just a tad. But if he insist on using the spelling Ellianna then I'd go with Ella.

  I prefer Ella slightly more, but Eliana (spelled this way) is also very pretty.
