PLEASE HELP vs. I NEED vs. YOUR OPINIONS

I posted yesterday and got some helpful feedback, but I want to hear more opinions. I am torn between 4 names, are extremely similar so there isn’t really room for "oh we will save it for a future baby." Background-the name meanings are sentimental to us, as this is our second pregnancy, as we lost our first one at about 13 weeks. We have Evanna (ee-vah-na) which means "God is gracious" Eliana (ellie-aw-na) which means "my God has answered" Elianne (ellie-in) which has the same meaning as Eliana, and is a family name and finally Elena (ellen-ah) which means "bright shining light" Our only downfall is as thrilled as we are about having this baby after what happened. I read somewhere that a baby after the loss of a previous pregnancy is called a rainbow baby, is it inappropriate to name her in celebration of being a rainbow baby?? we are planning on having more children after as well.

My personal favorite is Elianne - it’s not as popular as Eliana & Elena but pretty enough to stand out in a crowd of Ellie’s.
I’m not fond of Evanna.

I like Eliana best! It’s very pretty.

I know someone her gave their rainbow baby the middle name Rainbow

Elena will constantly be pronounced Uh-lay-nuh not Ellen- uh

I love Elena! I dont think people would pronounce it as uh-lay-nuh

I would pronounce Elena as uh-lay-nuh as well, but I think that’s my favourite of your choices :) We named our Rainbow Baby, Ruby, which is after my great-grandmother and also a subtle nod to a colour from the rainbow....not weird at all to celebrate the fact that she is a rainbow baby!!! Congrats on your little one :)

How about the spelling Ellena? If not, my favourite is Evanna!

I would pronounce Elena as "ellen-ah". Elenas my favourite :)

No, I think it is perfectly normal that you’d give her a name honouring the fact that she is a Rainbow Baby. My favourite name is Evanna

I’m also pregnant with our rainbow. I wouldn’t give a second thought to acknowledging her as a rainbow baby. I think it’s a beautiful way to honor the little one you lost.
