Baby Girl name too much?

Me and my partner are expecting and have finally decided on a name that we think is beautiful and traditional.
Mariella Elizabeth McGill- any thoughts on this or any other middle name suggestions that may sound even sweeter? Thanks!

I love Mariella but I'd have Jane as a middle name.

Choccywoccyhooha · 06/02/2019 23:28

It's lovely and flows really well.

Didyeeaye · 06/02/2019 23:26

I like it. It's pretty and a bit different without being strange.

RetroPlay · 06/02/2019 23:24

I like Mariella and Elizabeth and I like them together.
My only hesitation is the repetition of the LL sound in Mariella and then in your surname. But looking at it another way it taps out a nice rhythm.

Lovely name!

Buttercupsandaisies · 06/02/2019 21:11

I really don’t like mariella - it’s too much for my liking and will defo get shortened to Ella - you don’t get to decide once they’re in school!

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 06/02/2019 19:17

It's lovely ! 😄
I like Marielle Eliza McGill too.

laramara · 06/02/2019 18:38

Mariella is a really lovely name,as is Elizabeth.

Justus22 · 06/02/2019 18:35

Sounds like a film stars name, lovely. Really like Elizabeth but for middle name I also like Jayne, Grace, Lois, Rebecca, Jessica. X

Pretty! I knew a Mariella in primary school, her name was never shortened and I never met anyone else with that name.

Ribbonsonabox · 06/02/2019 18:22

Very beautiful!

FabulouslyFab · 06/02/2019 18:21

That is a lovely name Flowers

VoyageInTheDark · 06/02/2019 18:20

It's really pretty :)

Kohliewobbles · 06/02/2019 18:16

Love it

ChimpyChops · 06/02/2019 18:03

Gorgeous!

Disfordarkchocolate · 06/02/2019 18:02

I really like it but I think it will get shortened by lots of people. Very lovely though.

KindnessCrusader · 06/02/2019 17:59

Really lovely!

wineymummy · 06/02/2019 17:58

I like it and Mari is Welsh for Mary I think (maybe Mhari) so could be Mari (pronounced with a long A like Charlie) for short

stellarfox · 06/02/2019 17:56

I like it! The only Mariella I know of is on radio 4.

Petalflowers · 06/02/2019 17:02

Really pretty name.

VenusClapTrap · 06/02/2019 17:00

It’s a bit OTT for me.

starkid · 06/02/2019 16:46

Mariella is beautiful, and I prefer Mariella Joy to Elizabeth :)
