We have just had our 4th baby girl. All under the age of 5…sibling names are Zara(eldest), the Olivia & Rosie.
We are between Ella, Ivy or Sienna.
Which sounds better with these names? We have a longish traditional second name.

Congratulations

I prefer Ella out of those 3 and think it goes nicely with the sibset.

Sienna is a bit too trendy for me, and Ivy a bit matchy with Rosie. Definitely Ella.

Ella - it’s quite classic if v popular

Ivy is nice but less of a classic and will date as it’s so popular now

Sienna is a bit hello Mag / naff

MaloneMeadow · 05/11/2023 17:03

Love Ella! Sienna I like but I feel is getting so popular that it will date very quickly. Hate Ivy, a bit of a council estate/granny name to me.

theduchessofspork · 05/11/2023 17:03

Serena, Susannah and Saskia are nice though

Or Esther if you want a less popular alternative to Ella

All lovely names OP but they do remind me of the M&S jeans range!

unhingedminge · 05/11/2023 17:05

I do like Ivy a lot I know its popular at the moment due to Blue Ivy but I find it a very classy timeless name.

warriorofhopelessness · 05/11/2023 17:06

Ivy by a long shot. I don’t like Sienna and there are a billion Ella/Elli/Ellies.

Strawberrycheesecake7 · 05/11/2023 17:07

I like Ella and Ivy equally. If I had to choose I’d probably go with Ella but Ivy is very pretty as well. I don’t like the name Sienna personally.

PickledScrump · 05/11/2023 17:12

Ivy is beautiful and timeless. Ella I find dull and Sienna unpleasant

MerryChristmasToYou · 05/11/2023 17:20

Of the 3, Ella. Not keen on Ivy or Sienna.

Lifeinlists · 05/11/2023 17:33

Ella.
Ivy isn't timeless at all. It was popular in some circles around 1900 to 1930s then disappeared until recently. It's just fashionable at the moment.
Sienna is pronounced with a lot of emphasis on the 'na' bit round here so I wouldn't.

AuntieStella · 05/11/2023 17:41

Sienna - lovely name

Ella is OK

Olika · 05/11/2023 17:45

Ella

Sandysandwich · 05/11/2023 17:46

Not helpful but I think they are all lovely and go well with your other names

hcarter8 · 05/11/2023 17:46

Ella is very classic and timeless.
Ivy reminds me of an old lady sorry.
Sienna is nice but much more trendy than ella and ivy

mmgirish · 05/11/2023 17:47

I'm a teacher. I've heard kids call a child poison Ivy before so I would avoid that personally.

shakeitoffsis · 05/11/2023 17:47

Ivy. Ella and sienna are done to death

Spidey66 · 05/11/2023 17:49

I love Ivy.

I like Ella but maybe a bit too popular?

Sienna reminds me too much of Senna, sorry.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 05/11/2023 17:50

All are pretty popular at the moment round my way.

Ella is my favourite, then Sienna and Ivy last. Don’t love Ivy to be honest and I was put off using Ella by how popular it is.

daisypond · 05/11/2023 18:21

Not Ivy. It’s not at all timeless or beautiful, and it’s a rather unpleasant plant.

Ella is a bit dull but fine. I like Sienna.

TheIsleOfTheLost · 05/11/2023 18:29

Love Ivy. Would have used it if my ds's had been girls. Nick names wouldn't put me off, Poison Ivy is a kick arse environmentalist feminist. Ivy also feeds the birds when very little else is ripe and provides a home for lots of critters.

HaplessRhombus · 05/11/2023 19:01

Of the 3, I'd pick Sienna. I don't think I'd use it myself, but it's not overly popular and I like the sound of it the most.

Ivy is so popular at the moment that there are three in my son's 2-3 class at nursery (middle class area where older names are popular). And Ella is less common round here now but was super popular 5-8 years ago.

DisappearingGirl · 05/11/2023 19:02

I like all three!

Cinai · 05/11/2023 19:05

I love Ella and like Sienna.

Clare2023 · 05/11/2023 19:23

Thank you ❤️
