Middle name for Ella

31 replies

I’ve previously posted about choosing a name for our first little girl, due next month. We like Ella as her first name. A lot of people said it is overused, but we don’t know any children called Ella.

both our DS’s have meaningful middle names, but all possible names from grandparents etc doesn’t work. My middle name is Jane.

so Ella Jane; or we like
Ella Scarlett

our surname is two syllables. Any other thoughts on nice middle names?

Ella Scarlett is lovely. Scarlett is a gorgeous name, I'd put it first.

I like Ella Rose

Ella Jayne is lovely (better than Jane).

Ella Grace is also good

It sounds nice with Jayne.

Ella Jayne is lovely.

Save Scarlett for her little sister.

Thank you everyone. @Bienemaias i know, so many people in the last post said Ella was really overused, but we don’t know any, none in DS’s year or DS’s nursery.

for some reason my phone autocorrected, my middle name has a ‘Y’ in it, so Jayne, but either way would be nice. I do like Ella Scarlett too, but has no meaning to us x

I really wouldn't let this bother you, lots of people said the name we picked for our 2nd DD was very popular. We didn't use it. Not met another one her age or of similar age. The name we choose everywhere!

Ella Jane is beautiful
