Elea
Elea. I have grown fond of this name lately, and even consider using it some day.
(As a full name, no nn for Eleanora, Eleanor, or whatever)
What do you think of it? I pronounce it 'Eh-lay-ah'.

Pretty! I like how it's spelled too. It stands out.

I like it! It's pretty and simple. It's very short, but doesn't look truncated really the way I was almost expecting it to.

I agree with one of the other posters that I see it being pronounced as E-lee-ah, which I like better but,
If you are wanting to pronounce it Eh-lay-ah I would recommend a dif spelling.
Elaya
Alayah
Eleya
Eleyah
The way you are spelling it Elea, if you were to put an A in place of the E you would have the semi-popular Alea.

Maybe I should mention that I'm Belgian. In Dutch, you pronounce Elea immediately 'Eh-lay-ah'. A different spelling would make it look crappy :)

When I first saw the name, I thought it said 'flea'! That's just because of the tiny text on my phone though. I think it looks a bit strange, I just don't like the aesthetics of it. The sound is okay but I wanted to pronounce it eh-LEE-uh rather than eh-lay-uh.

I like it, but there's something missing...it doesn't seem complete to me.
