I just want your opinion on a name

:( I see that not that many people like the name Leila Elizabella :(.

I decided to see how people like this name because two reasons. 1.I love the name Isabella, and my son and father of the baby does not like that name. 2. My son likes the name Elizabeth, but I do not like it that much. Well, it is a good name, but I preffer the name Isabella, so I made Elizabella as a middle name, so that my son and I can have the names that we like in one name. What is it that people do not like about this name? It is that it does not go well with the name Leila as a first name? If anyone can give their opinion, please feel free to do so.

In addition to Leila Elizabella, there was Leila Nicole, and Leila Elizabeth (it took most of the votes)

I think the main reason people do not like it is because it sounds made up...that is where the appeal is lost. Leila is a nice name and there are many other mn's that could go well with it if you and your family do not agree on Elizabeth and/or Isabella.

Good luck,

Thank you for your opinion. I found this name in a baby name book that I bought.

It doesn't really matter what everyone else thinks about it. If you really like it you should use it. It's only the mn anyway - it's not like it's the fn & you'll have to be explaining the name to everyone all the time. You came to that name w/ much thought & it suits you & your family & that's what matters. It's not all that bad, anyway. I voted for Nicole because I thought it flowed more easily than the other 2 mns (& I AM tired of the ...bella names) but Elizabella isn't so bad. Go w/ your heart.

I'm not fond of Elizabella because it does sound made-up, but the reason I don't like Leila Elizabella is because there are to many "L" and "a" sounds. LeiLA eLizabeLLA. I wouldn't like Leila Isabella for the same reason.

BTW - Did you know that Elizabeth and Isabella are variations of the same name?

Elizabella just sounds like a cutesy nickname for an Elizabeth (and only when she's little), not a stand-alone name. I also don't like the repeat of the "a" sound at the end of both the first and middle name.

I also just really like the flow of Leila Nicole - I voted for that one.

AJ, enjoying life with C.
