Baby Girl name too much?

Me and my partner are expecting and have finally decided on a name that we think is beautiful and traditional.
Mariella Elizabeth McGill- any thoughts on this or any other middle name suggestions that may sound even sweeter? Thanks!

Sounds good

Justagirlwholovesaboy · 06/02/2019 02:56

Sounds lovely

Very pretty.

Mariella is too frilly for me. It's a perfectly usable name - just not my taste. I wouldn't call it traditional though - Mary or Marie are traditional and Mariella is an occasionally used variant with Ella added on. Elizabeth is fine in the middle, though I would prefer a shorter middle (1 or 2 syllable) such as Ruth, Frances, Jane, Catherine.

Lovely!

Peachbubble · 06/02/2019 06:04

I like it

Rafabella · 06/02/2019 06:13

Like it. Really lovely.

MumUnderTheMoon · 06/02/2019 10:33

It's a lovely name. Although Mariella Elizabeth is quite a mouthful I still like it. I do quite like Mariella Joy as well.

Butterfly84 · 06/02/2019 11:33

Love it.

ChubsyMcChubFace · 06/02/2019 11:34

Mariella is beautiful, and I prefer Mariella Joy to Elizabeth :)

VenusClapTrap · 06/02/2019 17:00

It’s a bit OTT for me.

Petalflowers · 06/02/2019 17:02

Really pretty name.

stellarfox · 06/02/2019 17:56

I like it! The only Mariella I know of is on radio 4.

wineymummy · 06/02/2019 17:58

I like it and Mari is Welsh for Mary I think (maybe Mhari) so could be Mari (pronounced with a long A like Charlie) for short

KindnessCrusader · 06/02/2019 17:59

Really lovely!

Disfordarkchocolate · 06/02/2019 18:02

I really like it but I think it will get shortened by lots of people. Very lovely though.

ChimpyChops · 06/02/2019 18:03

Gorgeous!

Kohliewobbles · 06/02/2019 18:16

Love it

VoyageInTheDark · 06/02/2019 18:20

It's really pretty :)

FabulouslyFab · 06/02/2019 18:21

That is a lovely name Flowers

Ribbonsonabox · 06/02/2019 18:22

Very beautiful!

littlemoon86 · 06/02/2019 18:26

Pretty! I knew a Mariella in primary school, her name was never shortened and I never met anyone else with that name.

Sounds like a film stars name, lovely. Really like Elizabeth but for middle name I also like Jayne, Grace, Lois, Rebecca, Jessica. X
