Stella is a great option instead of just Ella. I also like:

---

Gabriella, nn Ella
Marcella, nn Ella
Isabella, nn Ella
Rosabella, nn Ella

No! I think Stella is totally fresh, and I really like it. I don't know any Stellas, but I did run into a baby Stella in a coffee shop a month or so ago, and it was such a sweet name on a baby.

I love Stella and you could still use the nn Ella.

I like Stella much better than Ella. Another name that you might be able to use Ella as a nn for could be Elizabeth (although I like Elie better for that one)

I don't have any negative associations with this name. I think it's very pretty.

Stella is far better than the overused Ella, I like it!

I don't like Stella because it's just a Latin word to me. I much prefer Ella.

A friend of mine is going to name her first baby, if it is a girl, Stella Ruth (see my post above). I think Stella is a fabulous name, and a good option for Ella. Though I don't think Ella is overly popular yet.

---

Edited: I just checked the popularity rankings. I had no idea Ella was already that popular!! It just must not be used too often where I am; I've only heard it a few times. Huh.

I think Stella is very pretty. I prefer it over the very popular Ella. Although Ella is a very cute name I think Stella will age better.

I think Stella is just beautiful and has a more elegant feel than Ella. Ella though cute is very popular right now and not quite as pretty as Stella so in my opinion you'd be better off with Stella.

---

But Ella is cute and sweet so if you end up naming your daughter Ella it's not going to be a tragedy because it's not quite as wildly popular as Hannah, Madison, Ashley, Kaitlyn, ect.
