The name Ella
| Thu, 12-22-2005 - 10:43am |
HI yesterdy we found out that we are having a girl. We've had the name Ella picked out for a long time. i love it but I really would be more comfortable using it as a nick name. The name cant be too long however, because her middle name will be Temperance. Also my husband doesn't want any names that sound too foriegn. There are so many ella names that have a spanish backround. I dont know what to do, I might still just end up sticking with Ella because of the long midddle name. What do you guys think?
Thank you in advance,
Sarah

The only one I can think of right now is Eloise. Eloise Temperance? How does that sound to you??

Ella is certainly fine as its own name, but here are some longer names that might lend themselves to the nn Ella:
Isabella
Gabriella
Bella
Eleanor
Elizabeth
Eliza
Elissa
Eliana
Elaine
Elena
Daniella
I agree with another poster that I don't think you have to go with a short name just b/c Temperence is long. Even though Temperence has a lot of letters, it has a short sound, so it doesn't seem like as long of a name (if that makes sense).
Good luck making a decision!
Hi, I also like the name Ella but wanted it for a nickname. I will probably use Arielle or Ariella as the first name. I think Arielle Temperance flows nicely.
