Ella & Sam - Opinions?

Brainstorming baby names. I love the name Ella for a girl and Sam for a boy. Not very unique but I can't help but love them! Thoughts?

Why do the names have to "go" with each other? Are your children going to be joined at the hip for the rest of their lives?

Quite nice names though I hope 'Samuel' is on birth certificate, not 'Sam' even if you call him that.

I agree Sam&Ella sounds like food poisoning.

Adam sounds good with Ella- or any popular short name (Jack, Max, Leo, Theo, Harry etc). As pp note, Sam is too risky.

Don't like Ella and Sam is over used

I have a friend with an Ella who wanted Sam until she said them together! She went with Ben in the end, very nice name.

Our Ella has brothers called Oli(ver), Harry and Bobby

So believe it or not folks, I hadn't heard these names out aloud until I read these comments. Grin - duly noted though Haha - with this in mind any replacements for Sam that would go with Ella? Smile

Nice try OP!

I had a friend who very nearly did this until she realised how the names sounded when you say them together. She kept one of her choices but had a rethink for the other one.

How about Dya and Ria?
