Luella?

[Oopsie]

Pronounced Loo-Ella.

I met a 2 year-old called this the other day and have fallen in love. What do you all think?

Beautiful actually. Never heard it before.

Luella Bartley springs to mind for me, she makes fab handbags Nice name too!

Lovely, I've never met anyone with that name! Great choice imo!

I don't like it. Not sure why, but it does't sit well with me.

It's horrid,and very redneck.Think King of The Hill.

It's OK, although I prefer Louisa.

Quite pretty but sounds like cruella..

Very pretty. I like girls' names ending in -a. Also like Louisa, but Luella is less widely used already, which is nice.

What does 'redneck' mean ?

Oh, thanks Leonie. See, I think Luella is lovely and elegant, but Lou-Ella is awful.

I know a baby Luella. Fab name.

Loella was very popular in the 1880s, often see it on census returns!

I think Llewella is a nicer spelling, as Loella does look a little redneck-y to me.

Much prefer Ella.

See, I think Luella is lovely and different, whereas Ella is so widely used already and will probably date more.

It just brings to mind Cruella.

There is a lovely children's book called Pappa Pellerin's Daughter - the heroine is a very strong girl called Loella.
