Just wondering what you think of Ella. Tell me why you like/dislike it.

Is it too much of a celebrity baby name? Would you like it if it weren't so common or did you find it boring even before it became popular?

Oh and I'd like to know how many little Ellas you've met already. Is it really that common?

Ella or Elinor?

I find it boring. I think it sounds more like a NN than a full name.

Love Ella

as a nickname. It sounds a bit incomplete as a full name but I don't think it's too popular as I haven't met one Ella yet.

I'd choose Ella over Elinor (which sounds a bit outdated).

I think Ella is a lovely name. It is really pretty, but fun at the same time. And it seems elegant.

I loooooooooooove Ella, but that might have to do with my name being Ela. ;) I don't even know of a celebrity baby called Ella, so no, I don't think it's a celebrity name. I definitely like Ella more than Elinor but Ella and Eleanor about the same.

Ella used to be one of my favourite names but I'm quite bored of it now. The names okay but there are many more El names that I prefer. I think it's a sweet name for a baby but I think I prefer it as a nn rather than as the full name.

I don't know any Ellas, but I do know an Eleanor nn Ellie, she's about 12.

I prefer Elinor sp Eleonore, with the nn Ella.

I like Ella. It's very simple and sweet :]
I don't think it's too much of a celebrity baby name I don't find it boring at all if it's paired with an exciting middle name.
I haven't met many little Ella's but a lot of Ellie's which I can't stand.
I like Ella over Elinor, but I think it makes a nice nickname better than Ellie :]
