I like them both, but Seraphine is a very favorite :)

Eliora -- because I like the possible nn Ellie and because I think it would be the better, less common choice in the long run. As much as I like Seraphina / Serafina (and to a lesser extent, Seraphine), I can picture these names taking off in popularity thanks in part to Jennifer Garner's dd's name.

Seraphine. Eliora is too princessy for my tastes.

Eliora hands down. Lovely meaning, "shape" and sound. I've always found Seraphine and Seraphina overrated.

Eliora

But I would prefer Liora/Leora.

If it was between Eliora and Seraphina however, I would pick Seraphina in a heartbeat.

Seraphine reminds me way too much of the word Serpentine, which, given my phobia of snakes, presents a problem :P

I don't know how helpful this will be...I prefer Liora to Eliora because Eliora just seems a bit frilly to me. I prefer Seraphina to Seraphine because Seraphine sounds a bit choppy, unless you are pronouncing it ser-ah-fee-neh. I guess, all things considered, I would go with Seraphine.
