Need girl names with "Elle" or "Ella"
| Tue, 04-01-2003 - 7:25am |
When I was pregnant with my first child 5 years ago, we chose Isabella if it was a girl. Well, it was a boy, and so was our second child. The name Isabella stuck through those years and it's only now that it has seemingly become so popular that I question that choice. (Of course the widespread use of that name seems regional.) Can anyone help with other names that have "Elle" or "Ella" in them? I may switch to my old standby, Elizabeth (which, of course, is the name Isabella is derived from) because although it is common, it hasn't ever been trendy.
I am also waiting for the Social Security site to post the most popular baby names of 2002, since Isabella was only #28 for 2001.
TIA.

If you've always loved Isabella, though, consider using it anyway. It's obviously a special name for you.
Good luck!
Same thing happened to us with the name Chloe. My son would've been Chloe had he been a girl, then by the time we had girls it was too popular for me.
HTH!

"Isabella" is the Latin rendition of that form.
Alot of names have "Elle"/"Ella" in them.
Danielle, Michelle, Abegelle, Shandell, Favel, Chanel...many.
"Shelby Isabel" GMV. It is modern without being anemic.
I also like Eleanor, you could ply with the spelling of that. Or Brielle. Or Briella.
Just another option.

BTW, I took this from the oxygen.com babynamer- Isabella: This girl's name is used in Dutch, English, Italian and Spanish. Its source is Elisabeth, an English name meaning "God's promise."
