Middle name for Ella

56 replies

April01 · 19/11/2023 00:23

Hi,

We’re really set on the name Ella for our baby girl due very soon. We know it’s very popular but it’s our favourite name so we’re not put off at all by this.

However we’re stuck on a middle name. We would like to avoid middle names Grace, May & Rose - as we’re giving her a popular first name we don’t want to also give her one of the most popular middle names to go with it!

Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thank you

I like it with names with the emphasis on the second syllable. Like

Ella Jemima
Ella Janine
Ella Michelle
Ella Catriona
Ella Calypso
Ella Penelope

Etc.

Or one syllable like Ella Fay.

I wish my parents had used a grandmother's or aunt's name as a middle name for me. I got a middle-name-for-the-sake-of-a-middle-name and it's naff and dated. I hated it, and got rid of it.

Why don’t you honour a parent or grandparent and use their name? I thought that’s what middle names are for!

Not for everyone
