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. Smile

Prefer Ella. Very pretty name Smile others I like are: Mila, Alea, Isla and Lila

MrsJones92 · 20/07/2021 09:13

I prefer Zara out of the two as Ella is so overused and she would probably be one of many in her cohort at school etc. Don't know if that bothers you but it would me.

I would like 4 children named Iona Skye Arran and Oban. Sorry, just went off on a tangent!

I like ella

moovinon · 21/07/2021 12:50

I'm not a massive fan of Ella. I can see how it's pretty, but I think it is a tiny bit dated now. I think it was really popular a few years back?

How about:
Cora
Rosa
Iris
Ines
Etta

SapphosRock · 21/07/2021 12:52

Ella is beautiful, classic and timeless.

Ella

everybodysang · 21/07/2021 12:52

Zara's quite cool though.

Or Elle if Ella too common?

SapphosRock · 21/07/2021 18:13

I also love Maia

SlipperTripper · 21/07/2021 18:21

Very biased, but definitely Zara!

SupermanWithTheGreyHair · 21/07/2021 18:29

I really like Zara, i think it sounds cool but feminine. Not so keen on Ella but it’s a perfectly good name if you like it.

Other 4 letter girls names I like are Anya, Lyla and Anna.

OneMamaAndHerGirl · 21/07/2021 18:58

Ella is more feminine IMO but I prefer Zara.

My little girl is Esmé and she is such a little girly girl

opinionminion · 21/07/2021 19:07

Rose
Rosy
Lily

TheFeistyFeminist · 22/07/2021 09:18

Tara is the name that came to my mind.
