Well I'm sooo confused now. The polling is pretty much neck and neck...
DH has almost talked me into the "ll" spelling..so the pros are:
Elliana/Eliana:
Love the nicknames of Ellie or Lani
Very pretty
Goes really well with our surname
But it is a "busier" name, four syllables where I'd prefer 3 or 2.
Annika:
It's a "cleaner" unusual name IYKWIM
Shorter name (3 syllables) might actually be more likely to be used in full
Could shorten to Kiki (thanks Heva&Zacky!)
But don't love the shortenings as much... and I would love to find a name where I love both short & long versions.
