Twins- Ella and Blake
For a while I've loved the name Elisabeth nn Ella- yesterday I actually met one, though it was spelled Elizabeth (nn Ella). She was about 2 years old with a twin sister named Blake.
I love Elisabeth nn Ella even more now that I've seen it on a real person, but I prefer Blake on a boy. WDYT of both names?

I love Elisabeth with the nickname Ella! Elisabeth is actually one of my top favorites for a girl (with this spelling). Elizabeth isn't bad; I just prefer the 's' over the 'z'.
Blake is all boy imo, though it isn't my style either way.

Love Ella and Blake (boy), not Elisabeth
I love Elizabeth but have not heard Ella as a nickname for it but it works. I also like Ella alone. Blake does not seem at all the style of the classic Elizabeth/Ella espically on a girl but the parents must like different names just not like classics, more modern, etc. Blake is okay though.
My first thought was 'how cute' but then I read that Blake was a girl. If it had been boy/girl it would have been cute. Kudos to the parents for not being themey, though.
but Blake sounds more masculine.
I'm not in love with the name Blake but I don't mind it for a boy. I actually thought the sibset was sort of sweet until I read that Blake was a girl (horrible)! Ella and Blake would have been fairly nice for boy-girl twins, I think, but it's really bad on two girls. Elizabeth/Ella is such a classic and Blake is so trendy! Aside from that, I far prefer Elisabeth to Elizabeth and I like Ella well enough.
Ella and Blake would have been such a nice twin set if Blake were a boy. On a girl, it seems trashy.
I agree
I like Ella and Blake together, but I hate Blake for a girl. It's way too masculine.
