I was just looking through some names in one of my baby books for fun and I came across the name [name]Zella[/name].
It’s an African name and also a [name]German[/name] name. It was used more commonly in the 1880s to about 1950 but it never got any higher than the 200s.
What do you think??
I like the sound of it, and I think it’s very cool:)
It’s nice, but it sounds like a nickname for a longer, more formal name. Maybe [name]Giselle[/name]/[name]Gisella[/name], or something in that vein?
I think it’s really cute
Its pretty.
I love it. It’s been on my list for years. It is a great alternative to the more popular [name]Bella[/name], [name]Ella[/name], etc.
My favorite combos:
[name]Zella[/name] [name]Simone[/name]
[name]Zella[/name] [name]Theodora[/name]
[name]Zella[/name] [name]Beatrice[/name]
What do you think about Zélie? Its french but i think its easy to prn, you can listen to it here: Zélie pronunciation: How to pronounce Zélie in French
I have a [name]Zella[/name] in my immediate family, named after a [name]German[/name] ancestress. People do often mishear it at first and ask if she said [name]Ella[/name] or [name]Stella[/name]–but their second reaction is to compliment her on how striking, pretty and unusual her name is. She’s a bright, beautiful girl and the name suits her to a T. She loves her name and the fact that she’s always the only one in her class, yet it doesn’t sound totally outlandish.
[name]Love[/name] it! Very nice.
I love it! My grandmother in law is called Lazelle, and that often gets shortened to Zelle or Zellie. Perhaps also to [name]Zella[/name]!
I have a dear great auntie by that name! I’d prefer it to be short for [name]Hazel[/name] or [name]Zelda[/name] than [name]Giselle[/name] (all I hear is “jizz”). I think I prefer [name]Della[/name] as an old-timey [name]Ella[/name]-soundalike.
really like this name. Great alternative to the too popular “[name]Ella[/name]”, which i also love.
A similar name that I also really like is “[name]Zelda[/name]”.
At first I thought it was strange, but it is growing on me a bit. I kinda hear zealot when I say it out loud. I think it could be a nice name, I would just have to warm up to it for a while.
Sweet, yet zesty - I like it.
I haven’t heard it before, but I like it!
It sounds very jazzy to me. I like it.
