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.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Set a reminder

Stella

Too many of all the others.

I do like them all but prefer Sophia slightly.
How about Estella?

Stella

Biased because I have one (3yo)

She has always been enthusiastically complimented on her name by everyone who asks, especially in Europe 'oh Stella, like star!'

I think it suits a child and an adult and is strong but pretty at the same time.

For what it's worth the 'beer' reference has never been a problem, but maybe that will be for the teenage years, who knows.

I love Eva but my gosh there are soooo many Evies and Evas and Ava’s. Ella I find a bit nothingy and again it’s just sooo common. They’re always paired with the obligatory Rose/May/Grace which makes them overused and dull. The world doesn’t need yet more Evie-Mays.

I don’t like Stella at all.

I find Ella a bit nothingy too. Maybe because I've lived in Spain and Portugal where Ella means "she".

I don't think Ella, May or Grace are dull. I know some very fine examples...

I had a very good friend named Stella as a child, I was very fond of her. Great name.

Ella - I like this, it's simple, classic and I don't think will date. I can imagine an Ella at every age. It's not overly exciting but it is a lovely name and will do her well in life whatever she might want to do

Eva - thevworld doesn't need any more Eva's!

Stella - I like it, it's a bit different, more unexpected than your other names.

Sophia - it's OK but just very everywhere at the moment. I prefer the simplicity of Sophie.

Have you considered Estella?

I have an Ella and I picked it for the exact reasons this poster has mentioned

I really dislike stella

I like Sophia , but I like normal names and I'm not bothered by popularity

@artohmyletmehelp It's not the person who's dull, it's the name.

@LoudPlumDog I am sorry for the loss of your Ella.
