What Do You Think of this name?

Eliann(Ell-ee-in not Eli-Ann)

Update:

It's actually my middle name, and i'm a girl. I had no idea it was originally a guys name haha. I was thinking about adding it to my list.

    Adorable! The only thing I might change is the spelling or else she's going to have correct people all the time on how her name is said vs spelled. I had a daughter last year and I named her Zoey. I was going to go with Zooey, but omitted the extra 'o' because of the way some people said it when I talked to them on the phone. Just makes it easier. But I love the originality of the name. :)

    It's pretty, but I much prefer the name Eliana. Also, if you want it to be pronounced Ell-ee-in, I would suggest you actually spell it like that because when I see Eliann, I think to pronounce it Eli-ann.

    I really like this name, although it may be a challenge for some people to read it. I am a HUGE FAN of the name Eliana-(Ellie or Elly for short.). If I were you I would spell it Ellianne. It takes away from the whole Eli thing.

    GOOD LUCK!

    :D

    i like it...but i would spell it like ellein and NOT elliann because people will almost ALWAYS say eliANN trust me....cuz i have a friend named Jhoryanne and my name is Jorrian...and people ALWAYS call me Jhoryanne! it gets super annoying. especally when you correct them and yet they still call you the wrong name

    Its a cool name, and with that spelling it makes it more unique. Its very cute. :)

    Must say it is different. People would always spell and pronounce it wrong.

    For a boy or a girl? It's a hebrew name meaning "God", normally for a boy.

    I think it's cool!
