Personal experiences with the name Eleri: | Edit

We named our daughter Eleri Anise in 2010. All of our kids have "E" names and they are all celtic in origin. When loved the sound of the name and once we found out it meant "happiness overflowing" we thought it would be perfect for our little girl. Eleri is very happy, always smiling. She loves to clap and dance. She is also very curious and active, always exploring the world around her. She is still too young to tell us what she thinks of her name but we get many compliments on it. We sometimes call her Ellie or Elle but mostly we think Eleri is so beautiful we don't want to shorten it!
