Need a mn for twin girl...

Hello! I am having b/g twins due around Christmas. Anyway, we are naming the boy Luke Thomas and are still kind of stuck on the girl. The only name we kind of agree on is the family name Elizabeth, but we would call her Ella. I love little girls that go by two names, ex: Ella Grace. But DH does not want to use Grace (he knew someone in the past- you know how that goes. Any other suggestions on a pretty middle name to go with Ella? This may help us make our decision.

I love Luke Thomas and Elizabeth nn Ella works perfectly as a sister. Grace is becoming a filler mn, so I would avoid it. I would also try to find a shorter mn seeing as Luke Thomas is fairly short. How about:

Elizabeth Claire

Elizabeth Kate

Elizabeth Mae

Elizabeth Aine "awn-yuh"

Elizabeth Anne

Elizabeth Faye

Congratulations! Twins- how exciting! I am pretty traditional when it comes to middle names: Ella Rose or Ella Jane would be my first choices.

More traditional:

Ella Simone
Ella Faye (Fae)
Ella Kate / Ella Kay
Ella Faith
Ella Marie
Ella Jean
Ella June
Ella Nicole

Less traditional:

Ella Brynn
Ella Wynn
Ella Dawn
Ella Bailey

I would suggest staying away from Ella Mae because it is too close to Ellie Mae (May) - Beverly Hillbillies.
