I am really loving these names right now. What do you think of them? What are some possible full names for Ella?

I'm tired of Ella since it's so popular right now. Mary is ok, but a bit bland. How about Mariella?

Mary is classic, but getting "old" feeling because I never see it. It would be kind of refreshing to see it again in the mix of Madison's and Ella's and all the others.Ella is nmsaa, and personally, I loathe the popularity it is receiving. Any -Ella name would do. Isabella, Gabriella, and others I know exist but really dislike as well (not that I like Isabella or Gabriella)

I love both Mary and Ella and they would make a sweet sibling set. I think Ella can stand on its own, but traditionally it was a nn for Elizabeth. Others:Ellen / Helen / Helena
Eleanor / Eleanora
anything ending in "-ella" like Gabriella, Isabella, Antonella, Petronella, Arabella, Estella, etc.
Elsa
Elvira ("el-VEER-a")
Elva
Eloise / Eloisa
Eliane / Eliana
Elfrieda / ElfredaIt's so nice to see someone considering Mary for a dd. While it was overly used in the past, this next generation could use a few more.

I think the names Mary and Ella are very lovely names. I like them as well. Especially Ella. Now our tastes may vary. I tell alot of people this but I think these kind of names go really pretty with the mn Rose. Rose is just such a sweet name that I just love in my opinion. But whats nice about Mary and Ella are there are lots and lots of middle names that flow very well with them :)
