Help[Opinions] Re: Ella.
in reply to a message by lulu
Why do you love Ella? Well, this woman, naturally: http://www.loc.gov/loc/lcib/9708/ella.html
That's why I love it, at least. I hear strength, power, and an amazing creativity in the name. It's not enough to make me want to use it--the blonde-haired, blue eyed nouveau yuppie Ellas driven around in their parents' luxury automobiles kills any love other than the theoretical sort--but it's certainly not a weak name in my eyes. :)
May I suggest the similar, even stronger Etta? Rosemary Etta and Etta Rosemary both sound fabulously old-fashioned while avoiding the tryndee aspect Ella unfortunately brings to the table. Rosemary Elle or Elle Rosemary would be nice, too. Rosemary Enna, perhaps, or Rosemary Edda? Rosemary Ebba? Rosemary Essa? Rosemary Evva? :) All sound similar without being Ella. ;)
If you can't warm up to Etta (which would be my first choice, after the incomparable Etta James) or any of the others, either let the combo go or love it anyway as a guilty pleasure. Neither option is wrong--it's just a question of what'll make you happier.

...And then he said, "You're independent, aren't you?"
"Yes," said Laura.
A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.
