4th girl name-Stella, Ella, Poppy or Ivy

We have just had our 4th girl. All very close in age(under 5). Zara, Olivia, Rosie are their names so looking for a nice match that goes well with these. We also had Sienna & Victoria on the list but have removed them due to their length, going to stick with a 2 syllable name. Mia & Hazel I also quite like but my husbands not wild on them so it’s between Stella(my husbands least fave), Ella, Poppy or Ivy

Ivy is my favourite :) I'm afraid I don't like Stella, it isn't a very "young" name and makes me think of beer

Ella

Vexxa · 17/11/2023 09:32

Stella is my favourite, but since your husband doesn't like it as much I would cross that one off the list. Your other choices all work with your other daughters' names; of the other 3 I would choose Ivy.

Ivy is my least favourite.
I think Stella is a distinctive and underused name. Ella is sweet and nice and has a similar sound but much more common.
Poppy is cute but do you want 2 flower names?
Love your other names - especially Zara.

Ella 🥰

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 17/11/2023 09:36

Poppy

Stella is my strong favourite name. If your DH doesn’t like it, you might have to use something else.
I really dislike Ivy.
Ella is nice but a little bland.
Poppy is the one I’d go for.

JCWiatt · 17/11/2023 09:46

Other ideas: Annabel (Annie), Esther or Quinn Smile

JamSandle · 17/11/2023 09:46

Poppy

TheDuchessOfMN · 17/11/2023 09:47

I actually think that both Sienna or Victoria flow beautifully with those names.

Of those, I like Ella best. I agree that you shouldn’t go for Stella if it’s your husband’s least favourite.

Congrats!

dixeypeach · 17/11/2023 09:50

Ivy out of those. Have you considered isla, that goes lovely with your other girls names

Smallonesaremorejuicy · 17/11/2023 09:52

Stella is rather lovely.Congratulations on your new baby girl 💐

Mumofgirls2017 · 17/11/2023 10:35

Ivy!

Leni987 · 17/11/2023 10:55

Ella (followed by Poppy) Congratulations OP!

Clare2023 · 17/11/2023 12:11

Thanks for your comments. Ella seems to be the most liked when I talk to people but our worry is that there are alot of variations of it such as Ellie etc.
Its a pretty name but between Ella & Ivy I’m thinking Ivy might be a stronger name!

Not Poppy! My biggest regret at the minute is letting DD name our puppy Poppy. Overused, no real nickname opportunities and keeps spell correcting to poopy🙈 Also 2 flower names is a bit much.

Love Ella, really dislike Ivy and Stella. Granny names!!

piscofrisco · 17/11/2023 13:28

Any but Ella. Stella is best followed by Ivy then poppy.

uncomfortablydumb53 · 17/11/2023 13:37

Of those my favourite is Ella

ODFOx · 17/11/2023 15:12

Zara, Olivia, Rosie and....
Ella
Poppy
Ivy
....are all nice names.
I don't think Poppy and Ivy work with Rosie.
Ella is OK, but not as good a fit as Sienna.

Why did you decide Sienna is too long? Same number of syllables as Olivia and fits with the other three names beautifully!
Otherwise Jenny; underused but pretty and matches well.

Kaamos · 17/11/2023 15:18

Stella

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 17/11/2023 15:25

They are all lovely names .

Probably not Stella if that's your husband's least favourite .

Your older girls have lovely names too.

user1492757084 · 18/11/2023 02:29

Stella or Estelle are my faves.

Consider ..
Stella/Ella Victoria

octoberfarm · 18/11/2023 03:19

I think Ivy goes beautifully with the other kids' names. Congrats!

junbean · 18/11/2023 03:32

My 4th is Poppy so yours should be too! 😊 It's such a cute and happy name!

Lifeinlists · 18/11/2023 03:41

Ella was the most popular on your other thread. The few Ellas I've taught are all known as Ella, probably because that's their name, and why would you change it when it's short and sweet.
