[Opinions] Re: Opinions on Baby Name Ideas?
in reply to a message by M
I know an Eila prn like Isla. I like that name. I like it more than I like Isla.
People do often mispronounce it at first. It takes one correction per person - like with many names - and then people know.
I think Claire is a great middle name for almost all names and it's fine with Eila or Isla.
I don't think shared letters matter in most cases, and not in this one either.I recognize Eris as a fem name like Dracotorix does. I've never seen it used for either sex, though - so I guess I'd adapt to it as a guy's name. I kinda prefer a different spelling though, Aeris or Erris maybe. Thorn is a cool middle name esp. if it's after someone. It could sound better than it does with any first name ending with S. But that's not a big enough issue that you would change the name if you really like it.I guess both Eila and Eris are the kind of name that are minority usages in the US ...

(if you don't have an account you can't see that link - Eila and Eris (F) have been rising slightly since around 2000 and were used about 130 times each in 2022; Eris (M) has barely risen and was used for 18 boys in '22; all of them have very very light usage (generally less than 10/year) going back to the 1910s. There's a spike in usage of Eris (F) in 1923 - 230 girls - but it's very brief.)
... which means a majority of people who you ask for opinions, will not really like them a lot. There's no reason to not use them, if you like them a whole lot. But if you are looking for names that lots of other people claim to like, you'll want to keep looking.- mirfak
