Firstly, you should separate the girls name and boys names into 2 different polls so that we can vote for our favourite of each. Here are my thoughts...

Ella - Very popular right now. It is a nice classic, but Elle/Ellie/Ella is a "hot" nickname for girls. What about Elena/Alaina as an alternative and you could still use the nn Ella. Other names that provide this as a nn are Eleanor, Elise, Elizabeth, Eliana, Isabella (very popular though), Gabriella (see Isabella), and Annabella, and Arabella. Rather than using Ella as the full name, I think I would use Elena nn Ella as a less popular option.
Alivia - Why the "A"? Olivia is the proper spelling looks much nicer. I have also seen Livia, Olive, and Liv, but Alivia just looks trendy/madeup. Olivia is nice, but popular.
Vera - GORGEOUS! What a beautiful classic that is definitely ready for a comeback. This name is sweet, feminine, classy, and uncommon. I love it.

Landen - The proper spelling is Landon, so I would definitely use that. Landen looks misspelled. I do like Landon quite a bit.
Espen - Very feminine sounding. I like Aspen on a girl.
Brady - Nice, very strong.

Just thought of some other options for Ella to consider:

Aila (AYL-uh)

Isla (EYE-luh)

Giselle
