First name for Nella

Girl Names
1

We love the family name [name_f]Nella[/name_f] as a middle name but are finding it difficult to pair a first name that flows. So far, top contenders are [name_f]Noemi[/name_f] or [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] since we both love the nn [name_f]Lucy[/name_f].

I think [name_f]Nella[/name_f] [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] flows better but my husband isn’t a fan of [name_f]Nella[/name_f] as a technical first.

Other names we like but probably won’t use are [name_f]Allegra[/name_f], [name_f]Vienna[/name_f], [name_f]Leila[/name_f], and [name_f]Stella[/name_f]. We like romantic/Mediterranean names if you couldn’t tell :slight_smile:

Would love any suggestions!

[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! I think the flow is okay!
[name_f]Lucia[/name_f] [name_f]Nella[/name_f] is quite charming

Would you consider shortening [name_f]Nella[/name_f] to just [name_f]Nell[/name_f]? [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] [name_f]Nell[/name_f] ?

[name_m]Or[/name_m] having [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] be the formal name? [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Nella[/name_f]?

I think all versions are quite nice!

[name_f]Naomi[/name_f] [name_f]Nella[/name_f] is also very cute if you like alliteration (I’m a fan!)

Good luck

Could you maybe use a longer name & then use [name_f]Nella[/name_f] as a NN for a FN? Eg. [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], [name_f]Danielle[/name_f], [name_f]Daniella[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_f]Ellen[/name_f], [name_f]Elena[/name_f], [name_f]Leonora[/name_f], [name_f]Noella[/name_f], [name_f]Noelle[/name_f], Helen(a), [name_f]Novella[/name_f]?

Some other ways you could get the NN [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] while paired with [name_f]Nella[/name_f]:
[name_f]Louise[/name_f] [name_f]Nella[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucille[/name_f] [name_f]Nella[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucienne[/name_f] [name_f]Nella[/name_f]
[name_f]Luciana[/name_f] [name_f]Nella[/name_f]

I love the international vibe of your list and see so many of my favourites on it. TBH, I would be less concerned with finding the perfect fn/mn flow and concentrate more on her first and last name as those are the names she will use daily and be known as. [name_f]Noemi[/name_f] [name_f]Nella[/name_f] is lovely and I think the alliteration makes for a memorable name! I also love [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] although with both names ending in ‘a’ it doesn’t flow quite as well so may bother you although it isn’t terrible and doesn’t grate Another option is to give her three names, something like [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Nella[/name_f].
