I like Ella and Megaen. I like your spelling of Megaen! I am having the same issue with one of my favorite names, Emma. It was my name if my 1st DS would have been a dd. Then the TV show Friends used the name and it exploded in popularity ever since. I have given up a few other names that became popular too (Isabella, Ava).
I know that's the trouble. I am trying not to pick a name that is too popular! It's proving difficult. I do like the name Emma. It is a very traditional name that will never die out. How about Emily? That is another name that is very popular in the uk.
Of those two i choose Megan. There were a million Jessicas when I was growing up.
Emily is cute, but I have one in the family. I like I like Emilie too but not the nick name millie. We haven't gotten our 100% sure its a girl yet, so I'm looking at boy names too and THAT has been sooo hard.
I gave my girls unique first names (not even in the top 900 names, I believe) but used the classic ones for their middle names--Emily and Isabel.
love jessica and megan too!
Arianna
RE popular names, if you like them, use them anyway because there is no guarantee that they won't become popular after the fact anyway. My DS 1 had a super unusual name at the time (21 years ago) that I felt very clever for coming up with, but now is in the top 100 for names and getting more popular by the second - Wyatt.
I love Ella too!! but agree its so popular plus I love nicknames so we decided on Eleanor for our girl name this go round. Then I can shorten it to Ellie or Ella. It's likely a middle name would be his mothers name Mabel, and I think Ella Mae is adorable for a shortened version :)
I like Ella or Arianna!
I don't think Ella is too popular at all. I only know one and that was 10 years ago! I would use it myself but it will prob have to be for a little doggie, not a person ;)
