[name]Ella[/name] or [name]Violet[/name]?
[name]Violet[/name]! Hands down, one hundred percent! [name]Ella[/name] is boring and overdone.
I think [name]Ella[/name] is an elegant nick name but could use a longer form. To me, [name]Violet[/name] is a nameberry favorite so I’m kinda tired of it already. I’d try and find a longer name to [name]Ella[/name].
[name]Ellery[/name]
[name]Elliot[/name]
[name]Elisa[/name]
[name]Elena[/name]
[name]Elodie[/name]
[name]Eloise[/name]
[name]Isabella[/name]
I prefer [name]Violet[/name] but they are both lovely names.
I like both names but [name]Violet[/name] tends to have more personality. [name]Ella[/name] fades nto the background from overuse.
I love [name]Ella[/name] more, though they are both lovely names.
I actually like [name]Ella[/name] more, but its soooooo popular. There were at least 5 little Ellas at the kids place I used to work at.
[name]Violet[/name] for me. [name]Ella[/name] is a little bland.
[name]Both[/name] names are nice. I prefer [name]Ella[/name] because it feels jazzy to me ([name]Ella[/name] [name]Fitzgerald[/name]). [name]Even[/name] though it’s popular, it’s one I just really like. I like [name]Etta[/name] ([name]Etta[/name] [name]James[/name]) and [name]Nina[/name] ([name]Nina[/name] [name]Simone[/name]) for the same reason.
[name]Violet[/name]. [name]Ella[/name] is very overdone and it reminds me of elephants. [name]Love[/name] [name]Ella[/name] [name]Fitzgerald[/name] but not because of her name. 
[name]Ella[/name] by a mile. I’d come up with a longer first name though and call her [name]Ella[/name]. I’m not a fan of [name]Violet[/name], though I know most here love it.
I prefer the sound of [name]Ella[/name] but it’s popularity puts me off a bit.
This exactly.
[name]Violet[/name]. At my daughter’s school, there are a lot of Ellas - Elizabeths, Gabriellas, … all of whom have the nickname [name]Ella[/name], as well as a few girls who are simply [name]Ella[/name] (not a nickname). While [name]Violet[/name] may be a nameberry favorite, I have yet to meet one!
I would much rather be called [name]Violet[/name]
I meet so many girls named [name]Ella[/name] and only
one [name]Violet[/name].
I love them both! I slightly prefer [name]Violet[/name], but I really adore [name]Ella[/name], too.
[name]Violet[/name]. [name]Ella[/name] is waaaayyyyyy too popular for me!
Agree! I’ve been thinking of using [name]Etta[/name], or as a nickname for [name]Coretta[/name].
But back to the original question, I think [name]Violet[/name] looks pretty but I like the sound of [name]Ella[/name] more.
[name]Violet[/name]! [name]Violet[/name] is just so gorgeous!
[name]Ella[/name]. [name]Violet[/name] is cute, but not my favorite. However, I think [name]Ella[/name] is better as a nn.
[name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Elliot[/name]
[name]Ellery[/name]
[name]Eliana[/name]
[name]Isabella[/name]
[name]Gabriella[/name]
or anything with ella as the last four letters.
