Dc2 due in 4 weeks and unsure of sex. We really like Ella for a girl but are totally stuck for a middle name.
I don't really like all the names that seem to he used as middle names for everything (grave, may, rose are the ones that spring to mind) however we do want something that flows.
I really like Ella Nicole however Nicole is dh sisters middle name and he doesn't get on with her very well so isn't keen!
Any other suggestions? I don't like things that end in the same 'a' sound which rules out the likes of 'Olivia' etc.
Thanks

Sorry Grin

It's 5am and I can't sleep. Ella Nicole, as you said you've likely chosen, is lovely.

I expect she'll be Ella Vabeauty!

My favourites are:

I think you need something more unusual to go with Ella. Or maybe something more classic?

Ella Jasmine
Ella Clementine
Ella Colette
Ella Rosemary
Ella Caroline
Ella Phoebe
Ella Georgina
Ella Catherine
Ella Rosamund
Ella Florence
Ella Rachel
Ella Ruth

Both Ella and Olivia are very common where I live.

WhoppingBigBackside · 26/08/2021 12:28

I'd avoid Louise because of the Ls in Ella, and She'd be Ella L. Surname

I'd avoid anything starting with a vowel to avoid the eliding r (Elluranne, Elluramelia, Ellurivy...).

Ella Scarlett, Ella Vivien, Ella Beatrice, Ella Genevieve, Ella Frances all seem nice

I have an Ella Charlotte, she's an adult now and loves her name!
Her bestie is Ella Joy.

I wanted Ella Grace but unfortunately it didn't go with our surname.

Imadogcalleddill · 28/08/2021 15:04

I like middle names as an excuse to go with something a bit more 'out there' than the name you'll be calling them day to day.
So I'd go with something like Jemima but I know you don't want an A sound.
How about Katheen or Catherine?
