Thoughts on a middle for Ella

Girl Names
1

I am looking for a middle name for [name_f]Ella[/name_f]. I am completely aware of her popularity, but we have a rather unusual surname and we both like her!!

I was happy with [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f], but hubby is not a fan. He would like a Hebrew name, but that is not as important as flow for us.

No 2 syllable -a ending names like [name_f]Ella[/name_f] [name_f]Ada[/name_f].

No filler or one syllable names like [name_f]Ella[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f] or [name_f]Ella[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u]. I do like [name_u]Wren[/name_u] but want some longer and more interesting.

Also ‘trying’ to avoid name with -uh sound in the middle like [name_f]EllA[/name_f] [name_u]Ade/name_uline; this one just depends.

Some I’ve been thinking about that hubby doesn’t like:
[name_f]Ella[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Ella[/name_f] [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
Hubby suggested [name_f]Ella[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f], but she feels a little plain…

Would love some suggestions!!

Ella Magdalen / Ella Magdalene
Ella Salome
Ella Magali

Ella Merewen
