Our first born daughter is Ella, I loved it the moment I read it! We named her Ella Jayde.

My first born baby girl is Ella Sophia- we found it to be a perfect name for her as it is short, sweet and as beautiful as she is. Plus I only know two Ella's in my life apart from Ella Fitzgerald- i didnt realize it was such a popular name!
love it!!!!!!

I named my daughter Ella June...I never realized it was so popular...her name has the same ranking mine did when I was born..My name is April..and I never had to share my name..So I hope there won't be 3 Ella's in every class room..like Jennifers' when I was growing up.

My name is Ella Marie. I will be 45 this year and I enjoyed growing up with a unique name. From elementary school through college I was always the only Ella in my class.
too many Ella's?
written by (Baby) El, May 02, 2008
My name is Ella Marquerite. My mother's name is Ella Marguerite. My 90 year old grandmother's name is Ella Margaret. My grandmother was named after her aunt Ella Mae. The name can be traced back a couple hundred years in my family tree on both the German side and the Irish side so I'm not exactly sure where this name originates from.

When my I was a kid my grandfather would say El and we'd all turn around so he started calling my gmom Big El, called my mom Little El and called me Baby El. It stuck til I was about 20.

My only daughter's name is Stephanie Lynn. My grandmother kind of understood me not wanting to name her Ella at the time though I kind of regret it now and am hoping that one of my kids at least pass it down as a middle name. It is a beautiful name.
Ella Noel
written by Kaylee Schneiderhan, May 08, 2008
My 6 month old Daughter is Ella Noel.. she is sooo adorable. I also know a girl named Ella Nicole.. thats how i fell in love with the name! I also have a 2 year old son whose name is Ryar Alan. Ryar is kind of like ryan but with a R instead of a N.. me and my husband thought it sounded really cool and named him that. we also like the name Landen Charles.. and we are naming, if we ever have another kid, our next son that. and if we have another girl we will name her Regan or Hannah or Jayden or possibly megan. For Boys, Rider, Landen, Bryson, Ryar, Carter, Jayden, Brender, Hunter, Keegan and Dreyer. haha yes, we have thought about this for a while

this is one comment i objected to:

written by Ella the mad, March 17, 2008

My name is ella and im 23. I really pisses me off that all these kids now have my name. I realise that i wasnt the first person to be called ella but it still anoys me because i used to enjoy having a not so common name.

ok everyone- better apologise to ella the mad.

My sister is called Ella
written by Jennaa Louise, July 13, 2008
