Try using a feminine form of your dh’s first or middle name, or a variation of your first or middle. Or use a form of yours or his mother’s first or middle, or father’s first or middle feminized. Or do like me, use the middle name after a beloved deceased relative so the name lives on. [name]Hope[/name] I helped…

I love [name]Ella[/name]! [name]Ella[/name] [name]Smith[/name] sounds very sweet. :slight_smile: I like [name]Ella[/name] [name]Felicity[/name], or [name]Ella[/name] [name]Vivienne[/name], personally. Or [name]Ella[/name] [name]Catherine[/name]? I love the option of [name]Ella[/name] [name]Cate[/name] as a nickname. :slight_smile: [name]Ella[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] (nn [name]Ella[/name] Roo?) is pretty cute, too.

Good luck!

I love [name]Ella[/name] [name]Juniper[/name] and [name]Ella[/name] [name]Vivienne[/name] a lot. I really like the suggestion of [name]Eva[/name] [name]Felicity[/name] too!

As [name]Smith[/name] is a common last name, can i assume that you’re wanting to be slightly adventurous with the middle name? As your last name only has 1 syllable, i think i 3-syllable mn would work best = 2 - 3 - 1

[name]Ella[/name] [name]Isabelle[/name]
[name]Ella[/name] [name]Jessamine[/name]
[name]Ella[/name] [name]Miranda[/name]
[name]Ella[/name] [name]Aurora[/name]

It’s hard to make suggestions when [name]Ella[/name] is the only name to go by but i hope this is useful in some way. Are there any other names that you and your DH have discussed to give us an idea of what kind of names you’re into? Otherwise it’s just a bunch of berries giving you their own preferences! Good luck :slight_smile:

I agree with the previous poster. [name]Both[/name] [name]Ella[/name] and [name]Smith[/name] are short and common names, so I would suggest a 3-syllable and unique mn.

[name]Marigold[/name]
[name]Clementine[/name]
[name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Sabrina[/name]

I think you should use an unusual middle name because [name]Ella[/name] and [name]Smith[/name] are probably 2 of THE most common names in the country!
(think “[name]John[/name] [name]Smith[/name]”)
A middle name can give a very nice uniqueness!
ie) [name]Ella[/name] [name]Seraphina[/name] [name]Smith[/name]

Thank you for all of the responses! I love the suggestion of [name]Catherine[/name], which could honor my [name]MIL[/name], [name]Cathy[/name]. I’ve also been considering [name]Genevieve[/name], to put a spin on my name, [name]Jenna[/name].

I love [name]Ella[/name] [name]Rae[/name] and [name]Ella[/name] [name]Claire[/name], maybe [name]Ella[/name] [name]Camille[/name].

I agree with the posters that suggested using an uncommon name for the middle, as both [name]Ella[/name] and [name]Smith[/name] are common names. It seems to me like a perfect opportunity to use one of your guilty pleasure names.
