Our shortlist is: Erin, Freya, Joanna or Alexandra. What do you think?
We have a long surname starting with W and dd is Ella.

Thanks, tht was my feeling about Erin (not going with Ella) but I do love it.
Do you think Joanna could be shortened to Anna? Im not keen on Jo but then do you think Anna is too close to Ella??

I would of said Erin but as you already have ella Id have to say freya.
If youve got a long surname Id say Alexandra would be to much

I like Freya.

i wouldn't personally have 2 dd with same initial, as post could be a real pain when they're older. like alexandra as good choice of nicknames.

I think Erin is too similar to Ella.
Freya is very pretty and goes well with Ella.
I'm not keen on Joanna.
Alexandra is lovely but I'm not sure about having one very long name and one short name.

I would go with Freya.

I think Erin and Ella together is a bit of a mouthful TBH.

The other three are all beautiful as well so any of them!
