I probably would have voted for Sierra but I think she'll get have to correct people and explain a lot with Syeira.

I voted for Elena because I think it's the one most likely to be pronounced correctly the first time by people reading the name off a class roster, for instance. I don't have a difficult to pronounce name, however one thing I look for in a name personally is that it is easy to pronounce from the spelling. I think it's something to keep in mind when choosing a spelling of a name you love. All of them are beautiful, by the way, I just shy away from unconventional spellings myself.

There is a lady in our department who just had twin daughters. Her husband is Greek. She named one daughter Athanasia, NN Sia (after her mother-in-law), and the other Elena (after her mother, Elaine). Beautiful names for beautiful girls.

Aurelia is just gorgeous! Elena is nice, too, but kind of pales in comparison...

100% AURELIA!!!!!!!

Because:
It is unique, simple, beautiful.....

Odile...reminds me of Odie..

Syeira...????...how would anyone figure that one out?

Elena is a beautiful name also....but very popular...I would be sad, but I would give up a pretty name like Elena because I would not want my child to have the same name as everyone else....

Aurelia wins!

(I also love Aurora...maybe you do too!...Sleeping Beauty's name was Aurora).

It was a close call between Elena and Aurelia for me. They are both so pretty but I picked Aurelia. Aurelia is an ancient Roman name that seems to fresh today. HTH :o)
