1. Isabelle
2. Arielle
3. Gabrielle
4. Mirabelle
5. Roselle
6. Belle
7. Estelle
8. Aubrielle
9. Giselle
10. DanielleSo I went through these one by one just to find out that I have a way stronger preference for -elle than I had thought.
1. Isabella
2. Ariella
3. Gabriella
4. Mirabella
5. Rosella
6. Bella
7. Estella
8. Aubriella
9. Gisella
10. DaniellaYeah, I have a weakness for '-a' girls names, and it's mostly a given if they're '-ella' names.
Isabelle v Isabella - Neither. Isabel is better than both. Isabella seems too frilly and Isabelle seems kr8tiv though I know it’s a common spelling.Arielle - like this better but I also prefer Ariel.Gabriella - High school musical on my mind lol.Mirabella - seems more true to the meaning of the name.Rosella - Roselle seems incomplete.Belle - much prefer this to Bella which seems like a dog name.Estelle - all the sophistication and allure is in two syllables. Nothing is added with the extra a on the end.Aubrielle- a slight favorite. I don’t like either.Giselle - much more impacting and memorable with two syllables.Danielle & Daniella - one of the few names I like equally. Love both names. But prefer Daniela if it does have the a at the end.
1. Isabelle (Like!)
2. Arielle (Ariella sounds sugary sweet & fake)
3. Gabrielle (LOVE!)
4. Mirabelle (By a smidge. Don't care for either)
5. Roselle (Not sure why though)
6. Bella (Belle makes me think of bells)
7. Estella
8. Aubrielle (Aubriella sounds ridiculous. Similar to Ariella, it sounds sugary sweet & fake)
9. Giselle (Gisella sounds weird)
10. Daniella (More to it, but both are good)

1. Isabelle
Preferably Isabel. The name Isabella is too cutesy for me.
2. Ariella
I hate the Arielle reference to Ariel the Disney character, but both are okay.
3. Gabriella
I don't like either of these, both are too cutesy, but I don't mind Gabriel on a boy. Gabrielle is just sloppy and annoying, though.
4. Mirabelle
This name is really pretty. I like whatever starts with Mira, I realize. Mirabella is just a bit excessive with too many sounds.
5. Roselle
I like both, but if I had to name a child one of them, I'd choose this one. I don't like how old-fashioned it sounds but Rosella is too Cinderella's sisters-ish (yes, I know I make a lot of Disney references).
6. Bella
This name is prettier and a plus is that it works on all species (human, dog, cat, etc.)
7. Estella
I love both, so this is just what I decided. No reason.
8. Aubrielle
I've never heard of these names (well, Aubrey, but that's it) so I won't for the one that stands out less.
9. Giselle
I know a girl with this name. She's pretty nice and it fits her well. Gisella just wouldn't.
10. Daniella
Danielle seems too strict and Gen-X. Daniella is free-er, but I dislike the nickname "Dani" for both. Also my name is Ella and I would hate if it were "Elle" but it's different when it's an ending.
I love the analysis!!
-elle across the board, never been a fan of the -ella sound
1 Isabella but my favourite version is Isobel
2 Arielle
3 Gabrielle
4 Mirabelle but I think Mirabel is the best spelling
5 Neither
6 Neither
7 Estelle
8 Neither
9 Giselle
10 Danielle but my fave is Daniela
I'm not an -elle fancier, but sometimes it's unavoidable.
Isabel
Arielle
Gabrielle
Mirabel
Rosella
Bella
Estelle
Neither.
Neither; I'd prefer Gisela
Daniela
1. Isabelle
2. Arielle
3. Gabrielle
4. Mirabelle
5. Rosella
6. Bella
7. Estelle
8. None? Neither version are my type, but if I had to absolutely chose, it would be Aubrielle.
9. Giselle
10. Daniella
I prefer the *elle version for all of them except Rosella and Daniella, though I'd rather Daniela. Ariella, Aubriella, Gabriella, and Gisella are the other *ella ones that I'm most ambivalent about (and again, would prefer one L). I'd also prefer to see Isabel or Isobel rather than Isabelle.
