Ella or Lila ?

[Onefineday01]

DD due in Jan and really struggled with names, I think we’re down to Lila or Ella.
I know both are quite popular but I’ve not actually met any recently so it’s not really putting me off.
Also not sure on a middle name, husband really likes Grace but I want to avoid anything like that as I’m guessing there’s plenty of Lila/Ella Grace’s out there already. Any ideas?

Lila! Ella is pretty but so popular and common. Lila seems more special.

@Beccajf , the baby was due in January. They'll have named her months ago.

I personally dislike the name Ella - I think it's such a nothing name. Lila is better.

ZOMBIE THREAD

I know about 12 Ellas from toddlers to teens to 20s to 30s. The most unremarkable name I can imagine, baffles me to no end people choose this. Lira is nicer but I think you can do better than both of these names.

Lira has some currency.

@Goldencats ,the baby was due in January.

Prefer Lila to Ella and also prefer Lila spelling to Lyla!

That's a terrible name!

I have a 14 year old Eleanor.. she's called Elle at school or nell,we call her ellie, I love her name, Ella is a possible nickname.. I like lily much more than lila .. there are alot of both but there's more and more unusual names rather than the classics .. I love Alice & would have had one this time if I wasn't having a boy, I also have a sophie (fi fi) & love her name too x
