Need a middle name for Ella!!!

[NotUrsula]

I think that it is fairly likely that people will do what I did when I first saw it -- pronounce it as Ella-SEN.

I think you should take that into account when choosing the middle name; it needs good flow to counteract it. Playing around with the rhythm, it sounds to me like a one-syllable middle name will work best to keep "Ellasen" sounding like Allison.

So, my votes would be Grace, Claire, Rose, or Jane. Or perhaps Paige or Faith. Anne doesn't work -- too alliterative.

PS: I'd stay well away from using any kind of place name as a middle name in this case, because it makes a lame joke. "Ella's in ... [Paris, London, Brooklyn, Cheyenne, etc.)

I like the way Ella Grace sounds but I really am not too fond of Grace. I voted London.

Ellasen is very very cute.

I thought also of Ella Elizabeth but maybe speeling is Elisabeth

Oh lord, not Ella Elis/zabeth. Then her initials would be E E E.

We thought Elisabeth flowed nicely too..but it's the EEE that throws us... LOL..and I'm not even that fond of Elisabeth..but it sounds nice.

I like Ella Grace, but it's very popular. However, I think a middle name should either be a family name, or a simple name (we've used Anne, Grace, Rose, Douglas, and Robert).

We thought of Jane after his moms middle name...but I"m not fond of her or the name...LMAO

Ella(sen) is a family name after my grandma

[sdarwkcabemanmy]

[raysnkaysmom]

Ella Ruth
Ella Danielle
Ella Kate

That's what I'm thinking....I dont' want the same name as everyone else!!!

What about Ellasen Victoria? The initials would be EVE (not bad)....

That's my moms middle name...my DD8 has part of that has her middle name...(Eve)

Ella Jewel just sounds too much like "Eligible" to me.

Oh..yeah, it does....

Grace is a simple, classic name and it flows well with the first name you have chosen.

FWIW, I remember you posted the baby's last name in another thread. To ensure that your daughter not be on the receiving end of any needless teasing, I would stay far away from the name London.

LOL....I opted not to post the last name...cuz I got 'yelled' at for posting TOO much info the last time...
But...that's kinda why we like London

 

[momrek06]

Tracy.....looking at the POLL and I voted as well....it will be GRACE!!!

I just love that name Grace!!!!!!!!!

 

[DisneyCP2002]

I voted for Ella Grace but I also like Ella Rose.

 

[Mickey Fliers]

Well, I am not a giant fan of the name Ella (I think Ellaphant), but what about:

Ruth
Frances
Margaret
Caroline

 

[scarlett873]

My niece is Ella Simone...

But Ellasen Simone doesn't sound quite right.

I'm not much help, am I?

 

[beattyfamily]

Ella Rose
Ella Marie

 

[Twingle]

I have an Ella, and our last name starts with "E" - her middle name is my maiden name.

Not much help, but it's a different option for you.

LOL...I dont know I'm 'taken' by the name Ella...but I took it from my grandmothers middle name Louella (she hated the Lou part)... I have always loved Allison, so we combined the two. I will be calling her Ellasen, but everyone else is stuck on Ella... so I'm ok with it....

and...DBF thought he'd be funny and tell the sonographer her middle name was going to be Fant
Ella Fant
he's an idiot
