In keeping with the 'ella' theme, how about Mariella?

Sorry OP it sounds like a brand of contraceptive pill. I'm not keen.

How about just 'Ella' which I think is lovely?

fastdaytears · 21/01/2016 22:52

I love it

MrsMichelRouxJr · 21/01/2016 22:53

Or Gabriella?

Kirkenes · 21/01/2016 23:07

I think it's lovely. It a normal name but not ridiculously popular like Ella

moreshitandnofuckingredemption · 21/01/2016 23:08

Love it

Mariella fostrup? Frostrup?

Quite cutesy... But sweet.

Pipestheghost · 21/01/2016 23:54

I like it.

Ouch44 · 21/01/2016 23:58

I know a Mariella. I think it's a nice name. I have never thought contraceptive about it! Ella is a bit boring.

Tootsiepops · 22/01/2016 00:10

It was on my shortlist, but husband vetoed it :(

BlueChampagne · 22/01/2016 13:04

I'm with Ouch44 - go for it!

MitzyLeFrouf · 22/01/2016 13:17

I like it too.

QuietWhenReading · 22/01/2016 13:24

Pretty.

Sophronia · 22/01/2016 14:32

I prefer Marietta

flanjabelle · 22/01/2016 14:33

Love it.

MitzyLeFrouf · 22/01/2016 14:35

Marietta biscuits! They make Digestives look exciting.

IoraRua · 22/01/2016 16:44

I love it

MissBattleaxe · 22/01/2016 16:49

I think its pretty, but don;t shorten it to Ella or Ellie as that's way overdone now.

Custard314 · 22/01/2016 16:49

I really like it. Perhaps I prefer Marielle though.

breezeharbour · 22/01/2016 17:42

"Mariella, Mariella
Pretty, pretty girl
Mariella, Mariella
Happy in her own little world"

Second name I've seen on this topic that's made me think of a song!
I really like it Smile

It's just a short form of Maria.

Millions of them in Italy.

They are all between 35-50.

midsomermurderess · 22/01/2016 18:31

I really like it and Mariella Frostrup shows you can also be ballsy with such a pretty name.

handonhip · 23/01/2016 02:09

Really love Marielle. OH vetoed.

MissAlabamaWhitman · 23/01/2016 10:50

My name is Marielle.

I think that on balance id have preferred Mariella.
My name gets shortened to Maz, not Ella or Elle but then I am in my thirties. I don't know any thirty year old Elle/Ellie's, plenty of five year old ones though

Rosaaa · 24/01/2016 15:53

I like it

LeonoraFlorence · 24/01/2016 20:45

I know a little Mariella. She really suits it :)
