I still plan to keep Eliza Nimueh on my list, but I'm still open to suggestions of course and here are a few that intrigued me:

Eliza Róisín*
Eliza Jessamine
Eliza Ceridwen
Eliza Delphine
Eliza Magdalene
Eliza Amoret
Eliza Mélisande*

Here is the topic were the suggestions were made

The middle names should link to pages about the name.
* Note, I'm not positive that I will use the accents. I don't really mind them, but I've seen both names Anglicized without the accents. I think the accents might make them look a little too pretentious even for me. Not sure why.

Here is my most up-to-date girl name list:
1. Eliza ________
2. Cassia Rhiannon
3. Gwendolen Carys
4. Veronica Lenore
5. Selena Margaux
5. Cordelia Seren (Cordelia and Selena are tied)

I want to know what you think of the mn suggestions, and feel free to share if you have any suggestions of your own. Any help appreciated at this point.

~ Eliza Róisín- I love it! I think they both compliment each other nicely, and the Irish middle name makes it different (thought not too different ) and very beautiful!
~ Eliza Jessamine- It's okay, not my style, but nice
~ Eliza Ceridwen- I kind of like it, not quite sure yet I think it could grow on me!
~ Eliza Delphine- Lovely, though still not my style
~ Eliza Magdalene- It sounds really nice!
~ Eliza Amoret- I love how this looks, though I'm not sure how it sounds :L
~ Eliza Mélisande- It's nice, but not quite as nice as your other options

I love your updated middle names! I especially love the first one, Eliza Roisin, though Eliza Amoret comes in second! (even though I'm not sure how to pronounce )

I think I just may steal Roisin from you, if you don't mind! I think Molly Roisin would sound wicked pretty!

I'm glad you like most of them. Lol, I'm just so picky! I still have at least one problem with every name. I don't mind if you steal Róisín, I do think it is beautiful and should be used. Do you want me to tell you the tiny nitpick I have with the name? I don't want to ruin if for you (though I doubt the problem would seem at all substantial to a sane person ).

Here's a link with more on Amoret, though it doesn't give pronunciation. I also happen to love Circe from that list :insert sheepish emoticon:. I had a bit of trouble finding the pronuciation, but after reading this post about the poem, it seems clear it ends with a solid 't' sound, like in Juliet. Also, it is the short form of Amoretta, the girl's full name in Spenser's poem. The meaning is something akin to "little love."

Molly Roisin is beautiful, though I wonder, do you plan to use the accents or not?

[Remy Hadley]

What is it?? (now that you bring it up, I must know )

It's super pretty, Eliza Amoret! I would have guessed Am-or-ay, but Am-or-et sound super pretty too!

I'm not sure, I actually might! I mean, it's a middle name, so the accents wouldn't be too much a bother, would they?

Sorry!
My main quibble with Roisin is that is is sooo similar to raisin. Not a big deal of course, just one of those things I think about that I can't help. :/ I love the hard 't' sound on Amoret, and the meaning. My problems with it are the 'a' at the beginning kind of mushing with the end of Eliza, and the Amoretto liquer. Again, not big things. Just nitpicks that make me feel the name isn't "perfect."

As far as the accents, I definitely would try to avoid them if this was a first name. Since it is just a middle, though, I'm tempted to stick to the traditional. I probably write my middle name out around 10-20 times a year, so I really don't think accents or no accents matters very much.

Oh, and another question. Did you have to check the pronunciation of Magdalene or did you know right off? Do you think it is too religious?

I actually really like Eliza Melisande. I also think Eliza Ceridwen would go well with your other choices.

[Enchanted]

All your names flow pretty well with Eliza. My favourite is Eliza Róisín, followed by Eliza Jessamine.

I like Eliza Magdalene and Eliza Amoret
