[Opinions] Re: Emiliana
I think Emiliana is a nice name, but it's too long for my taste, not enough texture of sound to justify the length. I'd rather see Emilia or Eliana. They seem more elegant to me. But as a middle name, it is pretty and the length less important.I agree with Anneza that the combo "needs a good squeeze of lemon" ... though that's not how I'd pick a name.
Lucy Emiliana Faye would suffice for adding tartness, but you don't like it, so how about other faves of mine.Audrey Emiliana Faye sounds nice, but.
Ada Emiliana Faye
Claire Emiliana Faye
Jane Emiliana Faye- mirfak

Ooh, I like Claire and the combination, don't think I would actually use it however.
The other names definitely would be off the table.Audrey (That's my name)
Ada (Too close in sound to my niece's name)
Jane (Sister's middle name. I don't see myself using it directly especially if I already consider honoring her with the use of 'Emiliana' I also wouldn't pair any 'ay' containing names with 'Faye'
Thank you for the suggestions anyway. Lucy Emiliana Faye: I actually DO like it but wonder if the strong 'E' sound in the first two names 'clash' Like if it's something that should best be avoided for actual use.

For me it flows alright with Lucy. Since there's not a strong "ee" in the "mili" part, and most emphasis is on the AHna. I didn't even notice the E sounds matching or clashing.Lucia Emiliana Faye "Lucy" ?
