I like Eliana better, Liana reminds me of lianes and feels incomplete.

I prefer Liana to Eliana, but Eliana is pretty. I prefer Aliana or Alliana to both of them, though.

Eliana gets my vote. I love it!

Eliana gets my vote. I especially love the Hebrew meaning of this name. Liana is just less interesting to me.

I prefer Liana, it's pretty, not very remarkable. Eliana is... like wet paper to me. It's princessy in the worst way - it's feeble and insubstantial. It looks ok but hearing it is really not very pleasant to me.

Liana feels more like a short form and Eliana like a full name.

Eliana is a former favorite but now I find it a bit bland. I like its sunny meaning, though!

---

Liana doesn't stand out between the Leahs, Leannes, Lisas etc.

---

I prefer the look of Leanna or Lyanna.

I would pick Eliana or possibly Leanna or Lyanna.

I love the meaning of Eliana whereas Liana doesn’t really have a meaning, but Eliana actually looks more made up to me. Kind of like a mash between Ellie and Ana. So I guess I prefer Liana.

I quite like Eliana, but meh. I prefer Diana from both Eliana and Liana.

Eliana - pretty, contains popular sounds, lovely meaning.
Liana - seems made up or at least incomplete and forgettable.

I prefer Eliana.

Both are really pretty! They are both not too frilly, but still very feminine. I probably like Liana a little bit more though, it seems a little bit less trendy and more classic.

I like them both. I've known gals with each.
Liana seems a little more dated, and Eliana seems more fashionable right now, with that vowel at the front.
I personally like Liana a tiny bit more - I'd rather be named it, or use it for a daughter. I guess I just like the fact that it is shorter and feels more compact, less lacy. Four syllables is a lot, even for a shortish name like Eliana.
But on someone else, I would like Eliana about as well - maybe sometimes more.
