4 letter feminine girls names 🌸

[HJN28]

Which do you prefer

• Ella or Zara

Both fairly popular names, I love them both. Ella I’m worried that it’s too overly used and Zara I’m worried it’s too harsh/association with the clothing shop. Would love to hear what you think.

Ella is wallpaper now, it really is.

It will sound like Angela, Karen, Joanne, Nicole and Jennifer does to us, to this generation when they’re adults.

Zara much more preferable.

I have both of those . My girls love them equally. Good choices. Never have associated Zara with the clothing store.

Some others I have/love:

Kate
Ruby
Anna
Lucy
Erin
Nina
Tess

Zara is very nice

I like both but prefer Zara.

Other suggestions:

Cara (nice meaning too)
Elle
Etta
Lara
Lisa
Nita

Zara is my favourite. Beautiful.
Ella is pretty too.

I also love -
Cora
Cara
Rosa
Myla
Mara
Esme
Anna
Lucy
Iris
Beth
Katy

Jane, Sian, maybe?
I like both, but wouldn't pick Ella because it's so popular. I think Zara is fun and funky. I don't think of the shop, but I suppose it depends where you shop:).

They’re just so ubiquitous it’d make me think the parents lacked imagination and had no individuality.
Zara? It’s never been particularly popular, bottom half of the top 100s. Can’t say I’ve ever met one.

I get Ella seeming ubiquitous because Ella on its own is moderately popular but also sounds like many other popular names - like Eleanor and Ellie and Isabella etc but Zara I think doesn’t have that because it’s not particularly popular itself and also doesn’t sound like another popular name.

I vote Zara. I think it’s great.

Ella is nice enough but a bit bland.

Zara is classy.

Anna
Anne
Jane
Jean
June
Gale
Hope
Sara (though prefer Sarah)
Tess
Bess
Hera
Nora
Lara
Tara

Think Ella and Zara are both fine.

Zara. I don’t know any.

Ella is dull, there are loads of them and it’s just a bit wet.

Even Elle is preferable to Ella.

Loads of Ellas where we live. It's a pretty name but doesn't really have any impact because it's overused IMO

I love Zara. I only know two (both are about 8 years old).

Zara is a great name. Ella is boring, a bit twee and definitely over-used.

Zoey

Lila definitely

Beth

Another vote for Zara (I think of Philips rather than the shop). Ella is so ubiquitous.

Anne, Skye, Gail, Juno, Elsa, Nina, Lisa, Cora, Alma, Jean, Hope, Iris, Vera, Dawn, Rose, Jess, Kate, Beth, Joan, Rita, Mena/Mina, Lucy, Ruby, Gwen, Inez, Thea.

What about
Rosa

Cleo

Wren

Maya

Skye

Ines

Iona

Juno

Love Zara, it was on our shortlist. It has a nice meaning too (flower in Arabic, princess in Russian)
Also like Lara and Eliza

Esme ..pronounced Es…me not may !!

Oh, the Es-me pronunciation is really not good. 😬

@LimeRedBanana

Oh, the Es-me pronunciation is really not good. 😬

Amen to that.

Es-may - pretty.
Es-mee -

Why does the name have to have 4 letters?

Much prefer Zara. Or Sara.. rhymes with Zara .. (not pronounced Sarah).

Love Anna & Ruby as other 4 letter names

Jade?
