Ellia?

DH came up with Ellia the other day. Prounced like "Ellie" but with an A at the end (I know it should be obvious but it wasn't immediately obviously to me!)

Thoughts? DD is Marin Olivia.

    OK...now when you say your DH "came up" with it...do you mean he saw it/ heard it somewhere, or he made it up?

    I am asking because I have honestly never heard this name before (which really doesn't mean anything, just saying).

    I want to say Aleah or Malia or something. It doesn't stand alone very well.

    I honestly don't know...knowing him, it's something he came up with as I highly doubt he would look at a name database!

    I personally don't like it, I agree that it doesn't stand alone well. I proposed "Elia" (pronounced e-LIE-ah) instead (like "Elie" from the Bible only feminine) as a compromise he prefered Ellia.

    It was like twisting his arm to get one name suggestion...

    Gotcha! 

    Elia is pretty!

    I don't really like Ellia either.  What about Delia or Delilah?

    I really like Elia.  I don't know about Ellia yet.  I think it's like Aaliya, or however it is that people spell that name.

    We had Elia on our final name list (pronounced EH-lee-uh).  I read the name in Game of Thrones, and it was the name of a contestant on Top Chef a few years ago.  We ended up not using it because I was afraid no one would ever know how to pronounce it. I didn't want people to think it was like Aaliyah (uh-LEE-uh).

    I know how you feel!

    on the name I actually like it the only thing is maybe people pronouncing it wrong.
