Hi Remora L !!!

---

I prefer Elina.
Elina seems elegant but also exotic and fascinating.

---

I mean that I can see Elina both on a lively, sweet girl and on a gifted secret agent (or a spy).

---

Elisa is just colourless, flat and boring. Way too common and overused here in Italy. Elsa is much better.

Although both are nice, I prefer the sound of 'Elina' more. I guess I'm more drawn to the 'na' ending as opposed to the 'sa'
Elina has more beauty

Elina (eh-LEE-nə / eh-LEE-na). While Eliza is a lovely name, the spelling Elisa makes me want to pronounce it eh-LEE-sə.

Elisa, sounds prettier

I like Elisa better than Elina although they’re both pretty and surprisingly underused.

---

I prefer Elisa because I love the nn Elsie and Elsa, even though Elisa doesn’t really need a nickname.
Also, the s on the last syllable is pleasant to my ears in contrast to the popularity of NA ending girl names. I find Elisa refreshing.

Elina. It's been a favorite of mine for ages, and I simply dislike -lisa names as they sound too childish to me.

Elisa, not so keen on -ina endings.

Elisa is prettier and... "lacier" (dainty and delicate but not frilly)?
Elina is also good, it's a little more practical/versatile, and I like the relation to Elin, Ellen, etc.
The one problem with Elisa is that I only like the English pronunciation, and it could easily be mistaken for other pronunciations or names with similar spellings like Eliza or Elissa.

Both are lovely and I could actually see myself using Elisa (or Elise), however, Elina seems really fresh in my mind.

Elisa is nice enough as a nickname for Elizabeth, and it's cool on its own too, but Elina is more fun and more substantial.

Elisa
