HelpRe: Ella
in reply to a message by Mareasi
I actually really like Ella. I have always liked it. However, I find it realistically unusable right now (for me) due to it's popularity. I feel the same way about Belle and Bella.
15 Years ago, I would have giddily reccommended it.
Outside of naming a child, I think the name is simple and sweet. Even though I prefer Elle because I like non-a endings, this name is somewhat prettier as Ella. The sound is soft and kind've rolls off the tongue.
I do think that it has certian child-like qualities - but I have met adults with the name and it worked well. That said, the name still carries an innocence with it, so I could never argue that it is a "strong" name or has a lot of historical impressiveness.
It's one of those girly-girl names - which is why it works so well in literature as the innocent heroine who has to grow up.
