Eliza is one of our favorite names; we love its combination of streamlined modernity and Eliza Doolittle charm and spunk, and offer Eliza as one of our top recommendations.
That said, a lot of other parents like Eliza too: Witness its upward trajectory on the graph below. Plus it's one of the most-searched girls' names on nameberry.
Eliza could theoretically take the place of Elizabeth, cousin name Isabella, and the last generation's Lisa at the top of the charts, and bears a similarity to trendy sisters Ella and Lila. Still, it's got a good measure of 18th century backbone and tradition along with its contemporary zip.
One note: Do not name sisters Eliza and Isabel or Isabella, as they're different forms of mother name Elizabeth.
