Middle name for Ella

31 replies

I’ve previously posted about choosing a name for our first little girl, due next month. We like Ella as her first name. A lot of people said it is overused, but we don’t know any children called Ella.

both our DS’s have meaningful middle names, but all possible names from grandparents etc doesn’t work. My middle name is Jane.

so Ella Jane; or we like
Ella Scarlett

our surname is two syllables. Any other thoughts on nice middle names?

Thank you everyone. @Bienemaias i know, so many people in the last post said Ella was really overused, but we don’t know any, none in DS’s year or DS’s nursery.

for some reason my phone autocorrected, my middle name has a ‘Y’ in it, so Jayne, but either way would be nice. I do like Ella Scarlett too, but has no meaning to us x

Ella is a classic beautiful name. I like either of those . I know an Ella Delphine which is rather lovely.

I think Ella Jane is lovely

It would be nice to give her the same as yours, Ella Jane

Ella Jane is so beautiful - love it!

Middle names never get used, so it's d just choose a name that has meaning to you.

I'm surprised that you've not met any young Ellas. We know soooo many under 20 year olds.
