Re: The downfall of Ella
in reply to a message by Amandine
It's just part of the cycle. Ella was in the Top 20 in the 1880s as well, then began to fall until it dropped off completely. It's starting its death process again. People are getting sick of late Victorian classics. But it'll be back in 100 years I'm sure.
Ella is a pretty simple name and it feels slightly derivative of other similar names that are still/getting popular, so that's probably why it's dropping faster.
