Thinking about removing Arianne from my list...I LOVE the name, but I keep hearing people say that it sounds too close to the word "Aryan..." :/ I really love the name, but if I were to use it, I could see confusion there.

Arabella
I have it with the mn Harper. I was thinking I'd maybe replace it with the name, Arabella (pron. Air-a-bella). WDYT of Arabella Harper? I also really love Arabella Jude and Arabella Cate. Opinions?

Emmaleigh
WDYT of this name? Instead of pronouncing it as "Emily," I would say it Emmaleigh, with stress on the "leigh" (EmmaLEIGH). I've played around with it before, but it could cause more confusion?? :/

Elora
This one kind of just came to me, not sure where I got it from. Loving the nn Ellie at the moment though

Suri
Came across this name when suggesting middle names for Shay...it's Persian for "red rose" and I fell in love with it. WDYT?

I love Arabella and I like Harper too, though I'm unsure of them together... Arabella Cate would be BEAUTIFUL!
Suri and Emmaleigh aren't my style.
As for Elora, I have a friend with the name (Both her parent's are Bulgarian) and we use her full name mostly, but sometimes "Ellie". I love it! It's unusual without being too extreme and still has recognisable sounds that make it fit in with all the "Laura's" and "Ella's".

Love love love Arabella, hence my signature.

Emmaleigh, I've heard this name for awhile now and I can see the appeal but I'm biased on it concerning my name is Emily.

Elora, I really like this. It's different and it's giving it a twist on the more known Alora.

Suri, this is one of my GP's. I love this name and see the appeal.

I adore Arabella and have since I was a little girl. It will always be on my list no matter what. My favorite combos are Arabella Jade, Arabella Cadence and Arabella Elise.
I think that if you're sure about the pronounciation of Emmaleigh, I would hyphenate it so that it's Emma-Leigh to discourage people saying it exactly like Emily.
Elora is actually a Latin name meaning Light. I really like it. My favorite combo is Elora Violet.
I think that Suri will always be automatically connected to Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' daughter so I would stay away from it but if that doesn't bother you it's lovely although I can't picture it on a grown woman.

Thank all of you for your input/suggestions! I really love Arabella Cate and Arabella Jade!

I decided to ditch Emmaleigh, so it will remain a GP. I can't seem to pair it with a name that I like and the confusion irritates me

Still thinking about Elora!

Oh goodness.
I swear I always adore the names you have.
Ive liked Arabella for a while, its actually on my GP list. I've fiddled with Emmaleigh as well no luck either

As for Elora it has major appeal. And Auto has started to grow on me as well. I'll try to come back with some combos later. My phones dying and its almost time to get Aasyn and all that jazz

Arabella - Beautiful name. Arabella Cate wow, is just gorgeous. I absolutely love it.

Emmaleigh - Lovely name. Prefer the spelling of 'Emily' or 'Emilie' though. I don't think it would cause confusion though as it is a simple name to pronounce. WDYT of Emmeline?

Elora - Very nice and not over popular, Ellie is beautiful too.

Suri - Don't like this name at all, sorry.

Wow, we have fairly similar names on our lists!

What do you ladies think of Elora Grace and Lily Elora?

Elora Grace and Lily Elora?
Both names are gorgeous in my opinion, but Lily Elora is my fav, so beautiful & elegant.
