I like it, it's cute.
I'm not good at middle names, sorry!

It's very pretty. First thought...Eleri Catrin. :)

Gorgeous name, so melodic. Friends have a baby dd called Eleri Gwenllian - so beautiful. They are Welsh and the stress is on the middle syllable. To my non-Welsh ear it sounds like Eh-LEH-ree.
I like Eleri Juliet

I think Eleri is beautiful. It has this really green, springlike image. The pronunciation is a bit unintuitive outside Wales but simple enough.
Middle name ideas:
Eleri Linnet
Eleri Frances
Eleri Mai
Eleri Blodwen
Eleri Briallen
Eleri Catrin
Eleri Rosalind
Eleri Iris
Eleri June
Eleri Joan
Eleri Suzanne
Eleri Eve
Eleri Jasmine
Eleri Agnes
Eleri Ffion
Eleri Caroline
Eleri Florence
Eleri Skye
Eleri Marion

I think most people will pronounce it ELL-ur-ee. I know a male Ellery, so it's hard for me to picture (either pronunciation) on a girl.I also dislike that it ends with an i- those names typically look stripperish, like Bambi or Roxi.

That pronunciation seems really awkward to me. I would naturally say it more like ELL-ur-ree. Hm. I don't mind the look of it at all, but I just don't like the sound.

It doesn't seem like a name to me. It sounds more like the name of business or pharmaceutical.
