Re: Eliana
in reply to a message by Perrine
I like Eliana very much. Then again, I adore flowing, open-voweled names. I like the way Eliana looks, sounds, and its meaning. Having said that ... because of its length, it would likely get shortened. And while I like Ellie, Liana, etc., I don't see the point of using Eliana just to have it shortened. (It reminds me of Anastasia in that regard.) In addition, the entire name seems too long for everyday use (again, like Anastasia) so it's not something I'd likely use. I'd love to see it on someone else, however.

I love a variety of short forms - and that a person can be "known as" a different short form (or formal variety) among different sets of family members, friends, colleagues or other relations. That said - I've still yet to try introducing myself with the n/n "Babs" - a name by which I was lovingly teased with on just one occasion.
