I need some feedback on these names. Which is best for my second daughter due in a bit? If you have any other suggestions for baby girl names along these lines, they are welcome. My first born is named [name]Ella[/name].
Thanks for your help!
Can you help me with the pronounciation of [name]Kaia[/name]? [name]Kae[/name]-ya?
[name]Kaia[/name] or [name]Kaya[/name] or [name]Kya[/name]: pronounced keye-ah
I think [name]Willow[/name] and [name]Kaia[/name] are my two favorites. I’m not a fan of [name]Avery[/name] because it’s still more masculine than feminine and it’s becoming so uber trendy. [name]Harper[/name] and [name]Quinn[/name] are also very nice.
My oldest daughter is [name]Kaya[/name], so that’s my pick!
I tend to also like feminine, definite girl names though, so your other choices are a bit unisex for me.
[name]Willow[/name] is OK, but I really like [name]Willa[/name]. But that might be too close to [name]Ella[/name]. Yep, sticking with [name]Kaia[/name]. 
I like [name]Willow[/name], wonder if it is too close to [name]Ella[/name] for comfort. Maybe it’s fine. [name]Willow[/name] and [name]Ella[/name]. The 'l’s dominate in these names. Maybe that’s a good thing. (And maybe it’s bad.)
I personally like [name]Avery[/name] a ton, but wonder if it works with [name]Ella[/name].
[name]Harper[/name] is a bit of an “it” name at the moment, not that that should put you off using it. And then I wonder if it works with [name]Ella[/name]!
Yikes. I’m not being much help here. I guess all these names seem to me as though they are from different a different family of names. [name]Ella[/name]'s strength is that is it classic, simple, elegant. The strength of this list is these names are fresh, upbeat, contemporary.
This could be completely my problem. Be interesting to see what other posters say. Maybe these names play off each other very well, and I’m being too matchy-matchy. (I sometimes do that.)
Thanks for your opinion…gave me a little chuckle, but like what you had to say!
With a distinctly feminine sister name like [name]Ella[/name], I would definitely go with [name]Kaia[/name] or [name]Willow[/name]. I would for sure think [name]Avery[/name], [name]Quinn[/name], or [name]Harper[/name] were [name]Ella[/name]'s brothers. Plus, all three are very trendy. With [name]Ella[/name], what about:
[name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Camille[/name]
[name]Phoebe[/name]
[name]Tessa[/name]
[name]Claire[/name]
[name]Sophie[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Maia[/name]
[name]Grace[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Rose[/name]
I like [name]Ella[/name] and [name]Audrey[/name]. But then, I’m not their mom! I also like list from poster above.
Perhaps you could tell us if you are set on using a name from your original list or if you are open to other ideas. That should help us focus our advice.
I am definitely open to any new names anyone may have.
[name]Willow[/name]- This has the same girly and light quality that [name]Ella[/name] has.
[name]Quinn[/name]- This contrasts sharply with Ellas girliness. That isnt neccesarily a bad thing, it depends what you are looking for.
[name]Harper[/name]- Very much an “it” name right now as someone already pointed out. I still love it though and I love how it goes with [name]Ella[/name].
[name]Avery[/name]- Eh, kinda boring and predictable at this point. It is becoming very trendy.
[name]Kaia[/name]- I like this one but I far prefer [name]Maia[/name]. [name]Maia[/name] is a little more refined and elegant whereas [name]Kaia[/name] feels more modern and young.
I think my favorite is either [name]Willow[/name] or [name]Harper[/name].

Thanks for the insight. I never really looked that closely at the relation between the names i like for my new baby girl and my first daughter’s name [name]Ella[/name]. It gives me something new to think about. Thank you.
I really like [name]Ella[/name] and [name]Avery[/name]. They both have a similar meaning - with the fairies and elves. When I hear [name]Avery[/name] I think girl, not boy.

[name]Kaia[/name] is my favourite out of your list, and also the one I think stylistically fits best with [name]Ella[/name].
Some suggestions for you:
[name]Ella[/name] & [name]Abigail[/name]
[name]Ella[/name] & [name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Ella[/name] & [name]Lucy[/name]**
[name]Ella[/name] & [name]Gracie[/name]*
[name]Ella[/name] & [name]Poppy[/name]*
[name]Ella[/name] & [name]Tess[/name]
[name]Ella[/name] & [name]Ruby[/name]**
[name]Ella[/name] & [name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Ella[/name] & [name]Sophie[/name]
[name]Ella[/name] & [name]Katie[/name]
My favourites would be [name]Lucy[/name] or [name]Ruby[/name]… beautiful!
[name]Ella[/name] & [name]Willow[/name] gets my vote! [name]Willow[/name]'s a great name. I also like [name]Ella[/name] & [name]Harper[/name], and [name]Ella[/name] & [name]Avery[/name].
[name]Willow[/name]: I like this! Isn’t perfect with [name]Ella[/name], but if that isn’t too important to you than this is a great name:)
[name]Quinn[/name]: I have to say that I am biased against this name on a girl because it’s one of my favorite boys names. Putting that aside, however, siblings [name]Quinn[/name] and [name]Ella[/name] could very well be mistaken for a boy and girl because they might expect the another girl to have a more femenine name (like [name]Ella[/name] is).
[name]Harper[/name]: This is another name that could go girl or boy. However, I think most people see it as femenine and since both [name]Ella[/name] and [name]Harper[/name] are on-trend, I don’t think it would too odd to have sisters with those names.
[name]Avery[/name]: Very cute on a boy or girl. For this one, it’s basically the same as i said for [name]Harper[/name]. Plus, [name]Avery[/name] has a softer sound like [name]Ella[/name].
[name]Kaia[/name]: This one just doesn’t work well with [name]Ella[/name] in my opinion. Firstly, [name]Ella[/name] seems more timeless than [name]Kaia[/name] to me. Also, I don’t really like that both names end with the same sound.
Other ideas… (sorry about repeats!)
[name]Molly[/name]
[name]Lily[/name]
[name]Grace[/name]
[name]Aubrey[/name]
[name]Chloe[/name]
[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Ainsley[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Halle[/name]
[name]Phoebe[/name]
[name]Hadley[/name]
Good luck!
I like [name]Quinn[/name] or [name]Avery[/name] the best.
Thank you so much for all the feedback. I really appreciate it!
I really like [name]Quinn[/name] & [name]Harper[/name]… just depends on what goes best with the middle/last name! I think unisex names are very cute! Good luck
I really like [name]Quinn[/name] and [name]Harper[/name] with [name]Ella[/name]. I like the contrast of super-feminine with lightly-feminine. Also, I agree with a previous poster about [name]Maia[/name]: [name]Ella[/name] and [name]Maia[/name] look great together in type and sound beautiful together, too. [name]Harlow[/name] might work with [name]Ella[/name], as well.
[name]Willow[/name]: Something about this doesn’t feel exactly right with [name]Ella[/name]; however, I think it could work. Still, I prefer [name]Quinn[/name], [name]Harper[/name], [name]Maia[/name], and [name]Harlow[/name].
[name]Avery[/name]: a nice name, but very tomboyish to me. Very different from “[name]Ella[/name]” in both sound and feel.
[name]Kaia[/name]: This has a fresh, contemporary feel that looks and sounds vaguely Hawaiian to me. I really like it, but I’m not sure how it goes with a beautiful vintage classic like “[name]Ella[/name].”
[name]Do[/name] any of these names fit your style? Sorry if I’m repeating anyone else.
