Ella Fitzgerald......one of my favorite jazz singers and the main reason I like the name. Legendary woman with a beautiful voice. :)

Sort of boring, but sweet.
One of my best friends named her daughter Ella, after her grandmother. Her grandmother had always hated the name she went by, and had told my friend that she wished she could have gone by Ella.
So when she had a daughter, she named her Ella.
I supposed that’s why I think it’s such a sweet name? Because the only one I’ve ever known is such a sweet, pretty young girl and the Story off her name is lovely.

Boring, insubstantial, bland, generic, forgettable.

I think of Ella Fitzgerald. And I love her. Beyond that? It's so boring.I know a sibling set of Hannah, Ella, Ava, and Olivia. Thirty years ago it would have been Lindsey, Alison, Katie, Kimberley. And thirty years before that it would have been Susie, Kathy, Carol, Janet, and Cindy.

Ella the Elephant, Now and Forever

Naming an elephant Ella is just lazy, even for a kids’ book.

I suppose, but the reason that Ella makes me think of elephants has nothing to do with kids' books or any real elephant named Ella, if any exist. It's just the sound.

Now that it's sort of passe, I finally kind of like it. I didn't like it for the longest time. It seems sort of spunky and almost austere to me now.

Very very overused. I know at least three little Ellas. It’s a fine name, nothing wrong with it, but it’s a big old yawn.

It reminds me of all that jazz, flapper dresses, overflowing champagne glasses, and Ella Fitzgerald. Loveee!

It's sweet, but a bit insubstantial.

Flimsy. Nicer than Emma, if only because it's less popular. I would never consider it as a full name, and I'd never use it as a nn.

It's like when I ask someone what their favorite color is, and they say blue. Disappointing but hard to argue with.

It's ok, a bit boring though

Ella’s a nice name. A bid bland, but very cute nonetheless. I actually used to have a friend named Ella.
