4th girl name-Stella, Ella, Poppy or Ivy

58 replies

We have just had our 4th girl. All very close in age(under 5). Zara, Olivia, Rosie are their names so looking for a nice match that goes well with these. We also had Sienna & Victoria on the list but have removed them due to their length, going to stick with a 2 syllable name. Mia & Hazel I also quite like but my husbands not wild on them so it’s between Stella(my husbands least fave), Ella, Poppy or Ivy

I forgot Ivy! Yes that’s nice but maybe Ivy Stella? Grace is nice but so many girls have that as a middle name

Yokaiwatch · 23/11/2023 12:02

I wouldn’t go with Poppy, I don’t think that goes well with the other names. Stella is my favourite by far and goes well. Ella is nice too but Stella is better imo.

Congratulations!

Ivy Sienna?

I prefer Iris to Ivy, but all your names are lovely.

orangeblosssom · 23/11/2023 08:44

They are a bit dated in my opinion- popular 15-20 years ago.

mmm maybe we shouldn’t have disgarded Sienna. It is a pretty name.
I wasn’t sure if it worked well with the names I have? I also don’t think the other kids will be able to pronounce it, but I don’t mind the shortening to SISi anyway.
it seems like a marmite name. A lot of ppl seem to think it’s awful!!😂

Sienna is lovely

Rosies name will probably be less left out if we go for Ivy! Although they are only 14months apart so people might think they are twins with 2 flower/plant names!!

last minute my husband has decided to really push for Ivy which I do also really like!!
We’d probably stick with something simple like Grace for a middle name for Ivy as I don’t really think Victoria would work with all the V’s!
so now it looks like Ella Victoria or Ivy Grace!

Ella Victoria is .. PERFECT

Zara, Olivia, Rosie and Ella are all different in sound but each has classic history and meaning.

OliviaFlaversham · 22/11/2023 00:30

Ella. It’s more popular than Stella because it is a far nicer name. Stella Grace doesn’t sound nearly as nice as Ella Victoria.

plus Stella Artois is too current to distance from.

Birdsongsinging · 22/11/2023 00:23

I prefer Stella. I like Ella but it is just far too popular.

cordelia16 · 21/11/2023 20:27

I love Ella Victoria

I also like the symmetry of two girls with starting consonants and two with vowels :)

(And I know it's not a huge factor, but when you say the 4 names together, Rosie and Stella run into each other. "My daughters are Zara, Olivia, Rosie, Stella"). Just trying to find ways for you to pick between the two lol

We have wittled it down to Ella Victoria or Stella Grace
officially registering her tomorrow so the pressure is on! We are torn between the 2!!

Oh sorry, just saw the update, I'd go with Ella as you said your husband wasn't as keen on Stella

DiaNaranja · 21/11/2023 14:00

I think Ella is nicest on your list. Why about Penny? Or Eliza, Hattie, Bonnie, Thea, Tamzin?

Feliciacat · 21/11/2023 13:45

Ella Victoria is better sounding and somehow more classic (in my opinion) than Stella Grace. Then again, Stella Grace has a very cool meaning! Like celestial grace, that’s really appealing.

uncomfortablydumb53 · 21/11/2023 13:32

Ella Victoria is lovely

Definitely Ella from the two! X

Ella Victoria
Bit of a classic vibe

Ella is a bit boring. There'll be so many variations of it Ellie, etc.

I like Ivy.

DesertSnow · 19/11/2023 17:11

I think Poppy goes the best with the other names

MissedItByThisMuch · 19/11/2023 05:50

I see Sienna is back in play so I’ll give my opinion on that too - I dislike it! Still Ivy for me. Why is another plant name an issue? And if the name is actually “Rosie” technically that’s not a plant anyway.

MissedItByThisMuch · 19/11/2023 05:47

Ella is meh to me, and too popular for my taste. I like Stella, but if DH doesn’t I’d eliminate. That leaves Poppy and Ivy which are both lovely (don’t understand why people are saying they don’t work with Rosie). Of the two I would probably go with Ivy, particularly if you want a “stronger” sounding name.

mathanxiety · 19/11/2023 05:40

I like Sienna too, and Ella would go pretty well with the other names

Poppy and Ivy are too matchy with Rosie (too botanical).

mathanxiety · 19/11/2023 05:36

I think Stella goes best with the other names.

Theoldwoman · 19/11/2023 05:18

Zara, Olivia, Rosie and Ella !
