Baby Names

Do you know a lot of Ellas?

We've actually had our names chosen for at least a month, and it was such a relief to have made that decision.  Then yesterday, out of the blue, Ella popped into my head...a name I have always loved, but wrote off long ago because of its popularity.  According to the SSA site it is ranked #13 for girls' names in the country - so, still very popular.  However, it is not even in the top 100 for my state, and I only know 1 Ella, not even personally (she is the daughter of a regular nestie from another board).

How popular is it where you are?

Childhood cancer (DH) + chemo + radiation = 0 sperm.
LO #1 - 1 unmedicated/self-monitored IUI w/ donor sperm.
LO #2 - 1 m/c, 2 BFNs, 4th IUI worked (unmedicated/self-monitored with new donor sperm).
Life is beautiful!

  • Ella is a pretty name but its becoming really common.

  • I know a Bella and an Emma. I personally think there are more Bella's in the world (gaining a lot of popularity lately due to Twilight). Ella is pretty. I like it.
  • I only know of one Ella, a co-workers 2 yr old, but like others I have heard of quite a few Ellies.
  • A coworker just named her daughter Eliana but they have decided to call her Ella. Before that I've never met any. Although I know a ton of Ellie's.

  • I can name four Ella's that are age two and under that I know personally.  There is no way I would use it right now...in my opinion it should be ranked #1...at least in my area.

  • Yup I work in a DC and we have 5 under the age of 5.  Go for the other name you picked cause it has to be better than Ella.

  • I don't know a single one. I love that name, but in my culture/language, "ella" means "she" so we could never use that.
