Help!!! Our baby girl is due tomorrow and we haven't settled on a name yet. My husband thew a surprise at me two days ago as he announced that he wanted to pass his middle name on to her, which is Allen. He would like to spell it as Allyn. He even said that I could choose the first name if we went with his middle name. However, in my opinion, it doesn't flow with my #1 first name choice, which is Eliana (nn Ellie). Help!!! Please send your thoughts.
I am truly very sad at the thought of giving up Eliana. Our older daughter is Alexandra and I think Alex and Ellie would be so cute together. we have two other names we are tossing around at this time, but they don't grab me. Here's our list:
Eliana Allyn
Paige Allyn
Kate Allyn
I know Paige and Kate go better with Allyn, but I just don't want to see Eliana go. Help!

Ellie and Alex are adorable together!
Good Luck!
I love Eliana! Alexandra and Eliana look and sound real good together. It's such a beautiful name and not as common as the other two, although Paige and Kate go much better with the middle name. Best wishes with the name and the upcoming birth of your second daughter.
Kynda Lynn
I say go with Eliana Allyn. I knew a woman whose name was Allyn. But she pronounced it Ah-Lynn.
So I have been saying Eliana Ah-Lynn and I like the way it sounds together!

Oh, Eliana Allyn is fine! Flow is not as important as using a meaningful/ family name, IMO. Yes, Paige or Kate sound better, but are nowhere near as lovely as Eliana. They both sound kind of plain next to Alexandra, to be honest. Eliana Allyn, nn Ellie is just great!

Thanks belle_petite for the siggy!
Thanks so much for your thoughts. My husband's first name is Mark~ so I'm not aware of any feminine version... though I jokingly suggested taking off the K and making it a Y to create Mary!
Appreciate your feedback.
I'd stick with Eliana, love it.
How about Alena for a middle or first name for Allen?
