I have a name that I'm excited about, but need your opinion before I bestow it upon a daughter. I'm due 4-23-06

Elliann Marie...........nickname Ellie

Here's the meaning behind it: Ellie (for my great-grandmother Eleanor); Ann (for my mother's middle name); and Marie (my middle name). My great-grandmother, mother, and I were a very close trio.

Tell me what you think! Thanks!

Pretty! I thinks it great that you are honoring yourself your mom and your Grandmother.
She is a very lucky little girl for her mom to put so much meaning into her name.

I think it is cute! I am wondering if it is L-E-un or L-E-ANN, meaning does the Ann really stand out or just flow with Ellie. Great choice, and love the family connection.

Honestly I read "Elian", like the little cuban kid from the boat a few years back. But if you pronounce it Ellie-ANN, then it's kinda pretty. And family connections are always good. Or you could just give her 3 names--- Ellie Ann Marie.

Ellie is a pretty name. A lot of other parents think it is, too. There are lots of little Ellies right now.

Elliann is hard to spell but Ellie is easy.
Ellie-Ann is what I would spell if I heard the name.
Éliane is a popular name is this area.

I like the meaningful name thought though....
