Which do you Like Better?

Which do you prefer:

[name_f]Ella[/name_f] or [name_u]Ellery[/name_u] (Ellarie)

Thanks!

[name_f]Ella[/name_f] definitely. [name_u]Ellery[/name_u] reminds me of celery. No offense.

I like [name_u]Ellery[/name_u] but I love [name_f]Ella[/name_f]. [name_f]Ella[/name_f] is beautiful and sweet.

[name_f]Ella[/name_f] is mega popular right now and is cutsy and girly (my kind of thing) while [name_u]Ellery[/name_u] is unisex and very unique. I love them both!

[name_f]Ella[/name_f], definitely. Though it’s popular, it’s a classic. [name_u]Ellery[/name_u] looks trendy, and sounds like celery. Not the end of the world, but to me, [name_f]Ella[/name_f] is the clear winner.

[name_f]Ella[/name_f]- classic, timeless, and easy to spell. [name_u]Ellery[/name_u]- none of those.

I prefer [name_f]Ella[/name_f] better than [name_u]Ellery[/name_u]. [name_f]Ella[/name_f] is more classic, timeless, and adorable. [name_u]Ellery[/name_u] isn’t very timeless and isn’t as feminine.

[name_f]Ella[/name_f] by a mile.

[name_m]Even[/name_m] though popular, I prefer [name_f]Ella[/name_f]. It is lovely and I love the meaning (fairy maiden).

Not a big fan of either, but I like [name_f]Ella[/name_f] better.

[name_f]Ella[/name_f]! It’s lilting, elegant, and regal sounding. :slight_smile:

[name_f]Ella[/name_f] hands down. [name_u]Ellery[/name_u] is OK, but probably will get butchered.

Other [name_f]El[/name_f] names maybe? [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] ( beautiful and similar to [name_u]Ellery[/name_u] but with more history), [name_f]Elora[/name_f], [name_f]Luella[/name_f]…?

[name_f]Ella[/name_f] more… When I hear or see [name_u]Ellery[/name_u], ALL I can think of is Celery.

[name_f]Ella[/name_f] – no contest. [name_u]Ellery[/name_u] is all boy to me because of [name_u]Ellery[/name_u] [name_f]Queen[/name_f]. Aside from that, it sounds too close to [name_f]Mallory[/name_f] for me to like it anyway. I like pp’s suggestion of [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] – that’s beautiful and gives you a bit more unique name if that’s what you’re looking for. But [name_f]Ella[/name_f] is one of my favorites despite it’s popularity. I feel like it’s already starting to dwindle though with all the other “creative” and “original” names parents are coming up with for their daughters. I’m hopeful by the time I have a daughter (if ever), the popularity will be way down.

[name_f]Elle[/name_f]. [name_m]Just[/name_m] [name_f]Elle[/name_f].

[name_f]Ella[/name_f] is my pick between those two.

This. [name_u]Ellery[/name_u] also reminds me of celery.

[name_f]Ella[/name_f], it may currently be overused but it’s a classic

[name_f]Ella[/name_f], for sure:)

[name_u]Ellery[/name_u] but spelt that way
[name_f]Ella[/name_f] is very common, pretty name, to me it’s slightly too nicknamey but I like it, I know a lot of [name_f]Ella[/name_f]'s who are very different so it’s a versatile name but why not have [name_u]Ellery[/name_u] with the option of [name_f]Ella[/name_f] as a nickname and get the best of both worlds?
