Ooh, those are all very nice! Here are my thoughts:

Leila Elaine-Hm. Are you saying this Lay-luh or Lee-luh? Either one is very pretty, but I think that if it's Lay-luh then Elaine is not the best mn. Leila Rose/Claire/Elise all sound good.

Elena Claire?(Rose?)-Ah, gorgeous. I really like Elena. It's sweet for a baby, sparkles for a fun little girl, & is sophisticated enough for an adult. Elena Rose is pretty, but Elena Claire is a tad more interesting.

Lillian Elise-I really love Lillian (w/Claire or Rose as mns too). It is very popular now though, if that's a concern.

Maya Rose-That's really nice. I also love Mia.

Hope this helps!

Leila Elaine- No way!!! Way to repetative... "LAY-luh ee-LAYne"... it just doesn't work. I love Elaine as a mn or fn, but Leila is just okay to me. I prefer Lila, which seems classier

Elena Claire- This is absolutely gorgeous. Elena is so classy and I love this spelling best (over Elaina or Alaina, this one seems more classy). Claire is so sweet

Lillian Elise- Too "L" heavy... Lillian Rose would be a better combo, even though Rose is a really common mn. Lillian, although very sweet, is really gaining in popularity and is going to be the next BIG name, so I would avoid it. I LOVE Elise though

Maya Rose- I like Maya a lot, you could also considered Mia, or Amelia nn Mia. Rose is nice, but very common as a mn.

The one suggestion I have is to consider mn's with meaning... all of the mn's you have chosen are very common and almost boring. Do you have any family names or names with meaning (ie. city where you were married, favourite vacation spot, etc.) that would work???

My daughter is named Maya Rose, so I am a fan of that one for sure. Also Elise is quite lovely.

Leila Elaine - Is it pronounced LEE-luh or LAY-luh? Dislike LEE-luh but I do like LAY-luh

Elena Claire?(Rose?) - Dislike Elena. Prefer Claire as mn if Elena was chosen

Lillian Elise - Love Elise but dislike Lillian

Maya Rose - Really like Maya; very pretty

I really like all of the names on your list, both fn and mn but some of the combos don't work as well.


Leila Elaine - as you've seen from the replies,
