I love the idea of naming her after your grandmother, and Elizabeth is kind of a filler mn, unless it's also for someone special.

I cannot belive Sienna is winning! I voted for Allison, which to me to me is a much nicer, more classic name than Sienna which seems very "of the moment" and thus, will date your daughter.

Viola is a gorgeous name! Elizabeth is nice, but so common as a mn, definitely use Viola as the mn!!!

As for first names, Sienna seems trendy to me, but it is okay. I like Allison better.

Also should mention that with Sienna Andrus, the "a" at the end of Sienna and the beginning of your last name run together. Just did your boy poll, and I don't think Sienna goes well with Wesley or Julian at all, where as Allison is more classic and works. If you go on to have future sibs, Sienna won't go with the more classic names as it is trendy.

I like Sienna the best of the first names - I voted for Sienna Elizabeth, even though I'm not crazy for how the ending of Sienna goes into the E-sound for Elizabeth - but I didn't like how Sienna Viola - two a-enders sounded together - could you do Sienna Violet to honor the grandmother - I know, your going to say that's two colors - I have a granddaughter named Sienna Jade - they were worried about the double color thing too, but decided they liked the Jade in there anyway

Allison Viola sounds good together, but Allison (Allie) is so much more common/popular than Sienna

good luck though

Like a few of the others, Allison seems a much classier choice here. If you've seen any of the more in-depth threads on Sienna, besides being very trendy, it's also the name of a popular minivan and very-nearly the name of a laxative.

To be quite honest, if it were me, I'd consider Viola as a fn. ;) It is lovely, and the personal meaning is wonderful.
