Finally settled on the name Ella , I appreciate it’s popular along with all the other E names at the moment but it is literally the only name my husband and I can agree we both like.

Our first child has a middle name so we’d like to give new baby one too however we have no family names or anything that stands out. Not sure I’m loving any of the below combinations would like opinions?

So far we’ve come up with -
Ella Madeliene
Ella Sophia
Ella Grace (probably too popular?)

Also a bit out there -
Ella Sloane
Ella James

I have an Ella Mary and I still love it, simple, elegant. (She's about to leave home!)

No other Ellas in her year.

Ella Jean or Ella Jane

Ella Rose?

Apologies to any Sloanes out there but that (in my very humble opinion) is horrendous. Do not saddle your daughter with this.

Definitely not Sloane or James.
It's hard to say which middle name works without knowing the surname.

Ella Grace?

Grace is massively over-used as a middle name.

I have an Ella Iris

MêmePasPeur · 02/01/2025 17:27

Ella Grace?

MyStylish40s · 02/01/2025 17:04

Ella Maria
Ella Mary
Ella Marie
Ella Sara
Ella Elizabeth
Ella Julia

Fwiw, I think Ella is beautiful, and not as popular as it was, 10-15 years ago

MistyF · 02/01/2025 17:03

I like Ella Madeline (or Madeleine, but not spelling in your OP)

Ella Sophie

Ella Jane instead of James?
