Eliza Grace is very pretty. In regards to your surname...how often do you yell all three names at your DD Hannah? :o) With my kids, it's usually first + middle or first + last; I very rarely use all 3 names together.

I, for some reason, can't seem to veer away from the combo Eliza Clementine for you. Maybe b/c they're both named in folksongs (Eliza Jane and My Darlin' Clementine) or maybe just b/c they fall into the old-but-making-a-comeback category. :o)

Best wishes in choosing a name that you and your DH agree upon! :o)

Eliza Pearl works wonders for me ;) *couldn't resist*

---

I think it works well with the last name, though Elisa flows smoother to my ears.

---

I like Eliza a lot. It is pretty :)
I don't think the flow of Eliza Grace is all that bad, and I think that honouring trumps flow. Personally I would much rather be named after someone than have a name that was chosen just because it flows.

---

Another way to honour might be using Charis which means grace? Eliza Charis is cute.

I've never warmed to Eliza because I really don't care for the long 'i' sound, but it's a fine name. Actually, I think it sounds nicer with Saulnier (I'm assuming that Saulnier is French and pr. that way) because Eliza has a 'z' sound while the surname has the 's' sound than Grace Saulnier. The ending of Grace runs right into the surname.

---

Have you considered Elise which is also French and sounds good with Saulnier? If you pronounced Elise the French way (eh-LEEZ), it would sound good with Saulnier. Of course, if you pronounced it the way most Americans do (a-LEES), you'd have the same situation as Grace Saulnier.

Hope this helps.

I love Eliza. It's so spunky and cute. What about Eliza June?

My cousins name is Eliza, its only every gotten really popular comments from friends and family. Its gorgeous!!

I love Eliza and I think it's fine with your last name.

I like that your husband wants to honor his great aunt, but I just do not like Grace as a middle name. It's overused...sometimes it seems like every other baby girl I hear about has the middle name Grace.

Eliza is very pretty. Grace doesn't flow with your last name, but Eliza Saulnier is fine.

I like Eliza, as well as most of the names Procelain listed. I do agree that it's a little common.

Eliza is too harsh for me personally. I prefer softer sounding names like Elise, Ella, Elsa, Elizabeth, Louise & Lucille. The name does run into your surname somewhat. Eliza Grace is way too common sounding.
