[Opinions] Re: Ella & Ellen
Of the two, Ellen sounds far more interesting to me. Perhaps because I've yet to meet a little girl named Ella, whereas I went to school with two girls named Ellen and know another in middle school--so my positive associations with Ellen are more concrete. Ella's one of those names where I know it's out there and overused like no other (save Grace, ha), while Ellen remains hip, grounded, and a bit counter-culture to me; Ellen's just hanging out, being cool for the people who want it to be--it doesn't care whether or not it's revived any time soon, because it's confident in its cool factor. I can see a young Ellen with hair dyed unnatural colours and a strong sense of independence; I don't feel that so much with Ella.I really am sorry that Ella's so common, myself; I love Ella Fitzgerald enough that if it wasn't, I'd use it in her honour. However, knowing that there're so many little yuppie kids whining for ice cream while wearing names like Ella Marie kills any love I might have for it.Array
