Okay...I know I shouldn't have, but I pulled out my favorite baby name book last night which started me thinking...I really like the name Eliza, but what about the name Ella...it's nice too don't you think? Not this again! I'd like to hear what everyone thinks...Eliza or Ella. They are very similar. Eliza is probably less common. All of my wishes for the 100 good wishes quilt are addressed to Eliza, but that can't be the deciding factor. Maybe I just need to look at this baby before I decide...hey that's a novel idea...SOMEONE (CCAA) send me a picture of my baby! But really, what do you think...Eliza Michelle or Ella Michelle?

I like Eliza more, Ella is way to popular... I think I will call her Liza, of course if that is ok with you? Stick with Eliza you will be happy in the long run!
Love your very experienced, very devoted baby naming sister.
P.S. I would prefer if her middle name was Tabitha

I personally like Eliza better. It's not something you hear all the time and it's pretty.

Well I'm going against the grain, while I think both names are beautiful, I'm partial to Ella.

Hmmm...both names are very pretty. "Ella" was actually one that was on our short list too!(After my great grandmother) For now, we have about 3 names that we like, so we are just waiting to see which name fits when we get her photo. Only you can decide! It seems that every other week I'm thinking of new names that I like! Maybe I'll just pick one out of a hat?

OK I'm laughing so hard about Julie's spreadsheets that I forgot what I was going to write. Sorry!

Hands down Eliza! Ella is pretty, but Eliza has energy to it! Do I make any sense?

Krista said...

Of the two, I like Ella a bit better. If the trendy thing really bothers you, Eliza may be better. You may have to wait for that photo to decide. We have some names in mind, but will not decide which one until we get our referral.

Eliza Michelle sounds better to me.

Either name she will still be the love of your life. I'm kind of fond of Eliza just because we've come to know that name and associate it with you. You know what I mean?

I vote for Eliza also. They are both pretty, but there aren't going to be a billion Eliza's in her class growing up. I have always liked that name (and Nina too..I used to be a huge AMC fan:)

like many other people I love both names, they both sound very beautiful. Although, I am leaning more towards Eliza....I think Eliza Michelle sounds much more flowy than Ella Michelle. I feel like Ella Michelle is kind of Repetitive.:)
Luv,
your favorite lil' sister
