I had to go with Marcella on this one partly b/c it's less common and doesn't carry the middle-aged woman image for me like Judith does. Not that there's anything wrong with Judith, I just can't picture it on a little girl. Also, I love names with lots of nn potential, and Marcella has that. I could see her going by Marcie, Ellie, or even Mari/Mary when she's young, having her friends call her Celly in high school, and then deciding to go by Ella, Elle, or the full name Marcella as an adult.

Good luck making a decision!
