The Ella Craze

Everywhere I turn, there are parents with little girls whose name ends in -ella. Gabriella, Isabella, Arabella, or even just plain Ella. This is a MAJOR fad right now! We've all heard the commonly used -ella names, but after some research I found that there are SO many more -ella names that are just not commonly used. These are great for a mom that wants to stay within a current trend, but doesn't want her child to share a name with her entire class.

CORABELLA (Greek) Maiden

DANIELLA (Italian/Polish/Czech) God is my judge
