Hi Septapus !!!I think that Electa is too pretentious to give someone, especially a baby. On a character or per would be great though.There are a lot of names such Aristide or Cassandra that bring a similar meaning.With a similar sound I prefer Diletta 'dear, beloved, desired'.

It sounds gimmicky: "Elect a [insert last name]".

I wouldn't want to be called Electa. It's too similar to the word 'elect', doesn't really sound like a name, and I imagine here in the UK she'd just end up as another Ellie...

Not very practical. Not very pretty either.I misread Electra first as well

More like a job description than a name, and it would be mistaken for Electra. So, rather use Electra and make life easier.

I did, indeed, mistake it for Electra.
