Which girls name would you pick?

Ella
Eva
Stella
Sophia

Which would you go for and why?
I don’t love any of them but they’re literally the only ones my husband and I can agree we both like. We have very different taste and it took us a long time to even get to this point.

I like Sophia

the others aren’t my taste

FionnulaTheCooler · 07/01/2025 18:14

I really like Stella. Ella and Eva/Evie are overused these days.

Mulledjuice · 07/01/2025 18:14

Stella.always liked it. Never Been keen on Sophia. Eva and Ella seem mega popular.

Didntask · 07/01/2025 18:15

Love Stella. The rest are very dull and common.

JesusBlessYou · 07/01/2025 18:18

Ella is very overused.
I love Sophia and Eva.

Stella is old fashioned IMO. But not old enough to make a come back yet.

SushiWarrior · 07/01/2025 18:19

Stella is the most interesting. The rest are a bit beige/run of the mill in my opinion.

EcruCardigan · 07/01/2025 18:34

Stella because the others are overused to the point of being dull.
Estella is nice.

Sk1sk0 · 07/01/2025 18:35

I’d choose Stella

ThatWhiteElephant · 07/01/2025 19:10

I love the name Stella.

JC03745 · 07/01/2025 19:21

Ella- Its ok.
Eva- In my head, I think is it EE-va or AY-va? Prefer Evie.
Stella- 90yr old maiden, Italian aunt. Maybe Estelle? Not common.
Sophia- Prefer Sophie, but both very common

toastofthetown · 07/01/2025 20:21

Stella. All the rest are dull to me.

AuntieStella · 07/01/2025 20:26

Sophia or Ella (not shortened)

Eva was ubiquitous a few years ago
Ellie as a nn is pretty ubiquitous too

Stella is a lager (hence my username)

Zouks · 07/01/2025 20:43

Another vote for Stella, I think it's a lovely name. The only association for me is Stella Mccartney.

The other names are totally meh.

Funderthighs · 07/01/2025 21:14

Stella

Viviennemary · 07/01/2025 21:15

They are all a bit meh. But not awful..

lozzerjam650 · 07/01/2025 21:18

Stella. I love that name.

TizerorFizz · 07/01/2025 21:25

Stella can be Ella if you want it to be. Sophia next. Other two no. There’s Evelyn.

Mumofgirls2017 · 07/01/2025 21:27

Stella or Eva.

Eva is classic.
Stella is exciting and has a lovely meaning ⭐

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 07/01/2025 21:28

Stella is my favourite.
I prefer Sophie to Sophia by miles.
Ella is everywhere and then some.
Evie is too twee for me; why not Eve?

ItalianChineseIndianMexican · 07/01/2025 21:31

Ella

Like Stella too.

BootballJoy · 07/01/2025 22:45

Ella - nice but fairly popular.
Eva - I prefer Ava, but Eva is still nice
Stella - I like Estella much better
Sophia - was on my list twenty odd years ago! Very popular these days but I still love it.

2chocolateoranges · 07/01/2025 22:48

Ella far too popular
Stella I like
Sophia ok but prefer Sophie
Eva is ok

however on a side note, I wouldn’t settle for a name, it would have to be a name we both loved.

Nikitaspearlearring · 07/01/2025 22:49

Sophia. It's classy and timeless. Eva and Ella are just everywhere. I'm not keen on Stella. It's an old-lady name to me. But it's not awful.

Noonecaresifyounamechange · 07/01/2025 22:53

Stella just makes me think of the beer 🤦‍♀️

Ella or Eva are cute.

Purplecatshopaholic · 07/01/2025 22:54

Stella. Edgy and a bit cool. Others are meh.
