I like both (
Ella more so), but I do feel
Ella will once again seem tired one day (the way it did when I was a child when my great-aunt,
Ella May, was alive). One of our neighbors has a grandchild named
Ellen and she really is a gorgeous child. It's quite refreshing to see a young
Ellen these days.
Another thing to consider is that
Ella is so similar to the word elephant. I've heard of one plump little
Ella being called "
Ella the Elephant." Mean, I know, but kids can be mean.
