Re: Eloisa and Danielle
in reply to a message by Destry
I don't care for the "wheeze" sound in Eloisa, Eloise, and Louisa, but I still find the names respectable. Since you're pronouncing Eloisa eh-lo-EE-sa, that eliminates that issue. I don't know if some people will say eh-LOY-sa; some might, but I think they'd probably be more likely to pronounce it eh-lo-EE-za.
I like Danielle despite its popularity in the 80s. It doesn't seem too dated to me, though. Right now, I can only think of one Danielle plus a friend who had Danielle as a middle name off of the top of my head, but I know I've met more than that.
Daniela would be a better fit with Eloisa if you were to use them as sister names, but as a middle name, Danielle would work with Eloisa. The only thing is that the combo is kind of heavy on the "el" sounds.
