What do y'all think of the name Elia? I've been watching top chef lately, and that's one of the girls names on there. I really like it. I think it's pretty. What's a good middle name for it?


I was at a school the other day and i heard a teacher call a little girl named Genesis. I don't like it at all. And 2 little boys named Garrison and Trenton. I don't really like those either.

Elia is pretty... much prettier than Ella.

I do not care for Genesis or Garrison, but I don't mind Trenton at all. I kind of like it.

I don't actually like Elia.. Too many vowel sounds kinda at once or something. Genesis, is just... annoying and sounds fake. Garrison reminds me of South Park... so um, no. Trenton sounds like Trent fancified and I don't like the name in the first place...

like Eliott with out the T- Pretty, really love. But i don't like Ellie..
Like Leah with a an eh at the beginning- Like even more than the first.
Like Elias without the s- dont like, sounds like A Liar.

How is it pronounced. I thought of EEL-EEA. Not that I like it ELL-EEA any better but...

I LOVE Elia. I prefer it spelled Ellia though... I've had that on my list for quite a while now. It's so pretty. I've never thought of mn's for it though cause the first girl I have is getting the mn Frances no matter what!

Genesis, Garrison (god could it be any more of a last name) and Trenton all stink!

el-e-uh is how the girl on top chef pronounces it.

Reminds me of Aaliyah with an el... I don't know, just doesn't work for me I guess.

Elia (pronounced El-ee-a or El-leah) is very pretty, I think. Like anapology above, I wouldn't be keen on it if the 'i' is like that in 'fire' (El-lie-a), etc.

I agree, I like it spelled Ellia and it's very pretty.

I wonder if this name will be more popular now, at least with reality tv viewers! heh. I too heard the name on Top Chef and we really like it. Isn't the girl on Scrubs Elia too?

The Scrubs character is Elliot. They like using boy or unisex names for girls on that show -- Jordan, Danni, even Kim can go both ways.

I think it's gorgeous. I don't watch the show, so how would it be pronounced?

[thorabrighid.livejournal.com]

el-e-uh.

[krosp.livejournal.com]

Just out of interest.... since you said "even Kim can go both".. what would you normally consider Kim to be? I think of it as extremely unisex (there are plenty of men called Kim, but it's a very common short form of Kimberley) so I'm just wondering what you thought it was.

[cocinadelfeto.livejournal.com]

Oh great, Ellia has been on my list for forever and now it's a person on a show? Watch the popularity soar :(

[septembergrrl.livejournal.com]

I think of it as mostly a girl name (because of Kimberly), but one that's historically been used more for boys. Kind of like Lindsey or Ashley.

[thorabrighid.livejournal.com]

probably not, it's not that popular of a show.

I've never heard the name Garrison before....well, except my little cousins name is Garrison! I thought it was so unique!

I actually think Elia is very cute!
