Elliana June or Elliana Marie?

I prefer June because it's my grandmothers name and because it's less common than Marie but my family and hubby both prefer Marie because "it flows".... What do you guys think?

I like June because of the sentimental value.

Looks like this is one if your first posts. Welcome to D14 and Congrats!

I am with June due to sentimental value. My middle name came from my great grandmother and I have always liked knowing that.

I much prefer June, largely because of the family connection, but also because I think it's a bit more unique than the middle name Marie. I'm kind of meh about middle name flow in general. For the most part your child will not be called by their first/middle/last name.

I know you didn't ask about this, but I wanted to say that your first name choice is beautiful though I prefer the spelling Eliana.

If we spell it with one L and she ever wanted to go by "elli" it would spelled Eli... And I'm worried that will leave her having to explain.... Idk

I like Eliana June. I wouldn't use a less common spelling to accommodate a potential NM. She may have to constantly correct the spelling of her FN if it's spelled "wrong" with "ll".
