It means Daughter of the Sun, Daughter of the king or God has answered depending on the language. It's beautiful unique and in the 200-300 level of popularity. We just met another Eliana.

We named her after our favorite place in Moab, "Island in the Sky," and my grandfather was a sheepherder in southern Utah long ago, and his middle name was also Reese. I now live in Idaho, and it's a fairly uncommon name, though gaining in popularity. <br /><br />P.S. I love your writing style, particularly how so candidly write about how you are juggling family, two careers, and life in general. <br /><br />Best! <br />MariaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-7457192097275715712013-07-03T23:02:42.857-05:002013-07-03T23:02:42.857-05:00Oh LL.

(Rachel having an Ayla for example). So you may want to play around with that?<br /><br />Three names that I think fit your criteria and go well with Landon and Claire are Amy, Erica, or Erin.<br /><br />They all meet the court-appointed lawyer test, and would sound good when the Olympic announcer calls out their name before the gold medal race. <br /><br />Or there are the names Marta, Gretel or Gretchen (Liesel is also pretty, but is hard to spell and would end up as Lee) RJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-24087115820465675232013-07-03T12:05:56.184-05:002013-07-03T12:05:56.184-05:00Just heard another one today that might work--Dari...Just heard another one today that might work--Daria. sbcnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-30260544055277003722013-07-02T23:46:20.803-05:002013-07-02T23:46:20.803-05:00I LOVE our girls names and I think both of them me...I LOVE our girls names and I think both of them meet your rules: Emilia and Vera. <br /><br />Also - So happy for you!

Very few girls named Adeline around here...although many, many named Adelyn, Addielynn, Adalynne, you get the drift...drives me nuts all the weird spellings. <br /><br />I thought Adeline was very straight forward and is an 'older' name from past generations. But because of the popularity of Adelyn and all it's crazy spellings...no one can get Adeline right. <br /><br />We've never called her Addie...and when someone does call her Addie, she doesn't even realize she's being spoken too! It's too funny sometimes to witness.<br /><br />Our second daughter is Annie Grace. Never shortened to Ann. We liked it because we don't know many Annie's, it's not very popular....the few we do know are working professional women :)<br /><br />Elise was on my list!
