Baby names
DH & I had heaps of fun going through different names & meanings of names. You can make a list of favourites & see how it fits with surnames
Good luck

we loved Ella too but couldnt imagine a 30 year old being called Ella - hence Gabriella....and Ella is sooo popular - like number 2 on list of names...
there are loads of names ending in Ella you could choose and shorten...Gabriella gets called Ella, Bella and Gaby / Gabbie...and i would let u use name of course too....LOL!!!
also Elle - Hailstones called her bubba Elle and that is also pretty - and again plenty of names end in Elle (including mine and my mums - hence how we kinda chose Gabriella)
have fun choosing names....there are so many....

I found the girls names hard as well....we too had a boys name but no girls (I was sure she was a he).
I LOVED Ella or Bella, but our golden Lab is called Stella, and it would've caused a bit of confusion (probably for both of them). I also love Lilly - But my best friend's name is Lil (well its her nickname really but I have always used it) and I have 2 friends with wee Lilly's.
Other names I liked were......
Isobelle
Greer
Madilene ( but maybe not so good with Madison  )
Jorja
Samantha / Sam
Briony (not sure of spelling)

Hey!  I think it's a very pretty name! I can think of worse names for a 30 year old to be called!!
We chose it before we heard of how popular it was, we named her when I was 4 months pregnant (before we found out she was a girl, I just knew that she was). After she was born and I found out just how popular the name was, I considered changing it! lol.. but didn't

We are using Rose as a second name but I think it would make a lovely first name....only reason we arent is that the 2 names we have chosen work better if Rose is 2nd.

We are only at the early stages of pregnancy but we are finding it fun choosing possible girl and boy baby names.
I have always loved Madison but I have lots of others on my list.
And Jacob for a boy. Because Jay or Jake sound nice for a nickname.

We are using Ella Rose as a name - I appears it is very popular but it is so beautiful.
I think it can suit anyone at any age - I dont think this is an issue

Well I love the name Cassidy for a girl, & would've had it with this one, if it's a girl. DH doesn't like it, even as a 2nd name... so you're welcome to it, if you like it  .
I like that it can be shortened to Cass or Cassie & think it sounds pretty & feminine.

Great name choice!!! I am named Briony!!! It is a really uncommon name... I have only ever met three other people with this name (and I am 30...). The only downside is some people dont pronounce it correctly.... They say "breeooony" Not "brian-e".

I think I've decided on Arabella, and I know I will have mixed reactions about that one. Thats a good point about how it sounds on them when there older. Maybe I can test the name out on my mum - give her a name badge hehehe

Oooh thanks for the heads-up on how to pronounce Briony - I had it wrong all along! Pretty name. I'm on the Ella is a great name no matter what age, bandwagon!! (obviously! )
I also love Lily, Olivia, Kaitlyn, Rose, Trieste (pronounced like "dressed" but with a 'tr'), Sienna, Genevive, and the name no-one agrees with me on... Lee-Lee! I know, I won't actually name a child that. But probably simply because DH won't allow it! Oh, and the biblical name Dorcas.
I'm kidding about Dorcas. That name just cracks me up though!!
