I like Ayla the best of those because I love the Earth's Children series! I think Riley is my least favorite, that seems more like a pet's name (sorry!).

I like Elliana.

Aaliyah is nice, but the extra a and h at the end make it look strange (even though I know that's how the singer spelled it and all, it just looks strange). I know a girl named Aliya.

Ayla is okay, but not my style.

I like Lily as a nickname, but not as a full name.

Riley sounds like a dog's name. It's used way too often nowadays, and I can't stand it.

i thik i like to spell Aaliyah minus the h. So Aaliya. maybe? I like Lilliana better so than Lillie.

Love Elliana, Lillie is okay, I don't care for the rest.

I don't like any of them. I really dislike Riley. Lillie should be Lilian w/ the nn Lily in my opinion. But then again, that name is VERY popular right now. Ayla is... ok. I'm not sure what to think of it. I like Elijah though!

My suggestions:

Elise
Annalise
Ada
Leah/Lea/Lia
Emma
Emmeline
Audrey
Aria
Lila (pronounced Lie-luh)
Ivy
Ruby
Eva
Eleanor (nn Ellie, Elle, Norah, etc.)
Eliza
Isla
Lydia
Aurora
Piper
Ellen (nn Ellie or Elle)
Adeline (nn Addie)
Lola
Brynn
Anya
Abigail
Willow

Elliana is nice.

Elsie
Lena
Laila / Layla
Thalia
Aria

Elijah is fantastic.

Of your girl names, I think Lily is beautiful, but I would spell it Lily, not Lillie. Spelling it Lillie just looks kind of weird, honestly, and no one will spell it correctly.

When my husband and I were coming up with names for our second daughter, we really liked Ayla. (you pron. with a long A, right?) We settled on Aven, though. :)

[calorie-queen27.livejournal.com]

i forget long and short A sounds lol. i just literally pronounce it with the sound of A.

[turtleohs.livejournal.com]

Elliana is similar to our girl name that we've picked which is Ellia :)

[turtleohs.livejournal.com]

My due date is between the 27th and the 30th!

I like Lillie, but prefer it spelled as Lily.

I put your list of names into Nymbler.com and some of the suggestions were:

-Amelia
-Sophie
-Sophia
-Chloe
-Claire

These are all more old-fashioned names and you seem to be into the more modern ones, so they might not be your style but I thought I'd just give you some suggestions anyway.

Congratulations, by the way :) And I hope this helps.

[calorie-queen27.livejournal.com]

thank you! your right, i like more comtemporary names. I kind of like Julissa...but my friend said id sounded black. idk?!

[queen-islanzadi.livejournal.com]

I'm not a big fan of Julissa, sorry.

[requiem-morrow.livejournal.com]

I like a lot of the suggestions made already, but I'll through some more out there lol

Elysia
Elysian
Eliora
Evaliese
Evolet
Liadan
Lyra
Liora
Melia
Meliora
Lilias

The one family i worked with who had a son named Elijah had a sister named Rhiannon.

[calorie-queen27.livejournal.com]

hmm, Evaliese is kind of neat. i kinda like it.

[solitudete.livejournal.com]

Not a fan of Riley for girls. I like Ayla.

[calorie-queen27.livejournal.com]

a lot of ppl say that! i would never name my boy Riley tho. I never even heard of it as a boys name till i got pregnant.

[solitudete.livejournal.com]

It was a male name for hundreds of years, came into use for girls mostly in the 1990s.

[calorie-queen27.livejournal.com]

well. I was born in 1990, sooo maybe that's why I only know girls named Riley! lol

[frost.livejournal.com]

Lillie and Elliana are okay. I dislike this spelling of Lily though- it looks weird, imo.
Riley is also okay, but...I don't think it sounds very nice on girls. =/
Elijah is great. =)

[frost.livejournal.com]

Congrats, btw! :D

[spaceandclouds.livejournal.com]

I think Ayla is beautiful. I also like the name Lily, but Lillie seems...off to me.

Other suggestions:
Sophie
Elodie
Elora
Anya
Aniela
Rosalie
Marley
