Is Ella not a name in its own right, rather than a nn? I always though it was.

I've never seen Ella as a nickname... I think it's definitely a name in it's own right. Ella Fitzgerald!?!

Ella Jude is gorgeous... We were going to have Jude for a boys first name and I loved it so much. Kind of saving it in case we have another baby and it's a boy!

Ella May is nice! :)

agree that it would be better if she were called Eleanor with Ella as a nickname.

OP my DD is called Emma Jane frequently at school, and she also gets Ella Mae as well. It's one of those names that is easily mixed up, but I still love it. And DD is very insistent that people use her full name - she gets a tad annoyed when she is called Ella. I used to call her EJ for short but now get pulled up by DD.

I always wanted an Ella May if I had a girl :D

Just to borrow Beyonce's baby's name...I think Ella Blue works

Plase call the poor mite Eleanor instead and use Ella as a nickname. Lots more options and much easier to be a divorce lawyer or aged Professor of Greek called Eleanor.

Hulababy · 08/01/2012 20:47

I think it needs to be one syllable.

My first thought was Ella Grace.

JambalayaCodfishPie · 08/01/2012 20:46

Ella Tallulah. Grin

I know an Ella Mary. Think both names are lovely - Mary was chosen for family reasons.

MsTimTam · 08/01/2012 09:43

I've got an Ella Grace so slightly biased Wink

DD1 is Ella Rosa, which we both loved and coincidentally was both DH's great-grandmother's name and my great-aunt's name. It also gave her the slightly royal initials ERH Grin.
