I think Marcella is a very attractive names.

---

Marcella Eve would be fantastic.

---

Cyrilla is a little harder to pull of, it seems almost shrill, to me. Cyrilla Leigh, perhaps?

I generally don't let meanings get in the way of a name if it has positive images / associations for me. (Did I just say that on an etymological site?)

---

Marcella makes me think of ancient Rome - always a fun proposition. Marcella has a beautiful sound and is one of those buried treasures waiting to be rediscovered. Love it.

---

Marcella Eve
Marcella June (variant of another Roman name, Juno / Junia)
Marcella Cruz
Marcella Ruby
Marcella Zoe
Marcella Kay
Marcella Pilar
Marcella Daphne
Marcella Rose

Cyrilla doesn't have the bgreatest sound to my ears. Plus, it makes me think of a disease / medical condition. Perhaps I'm thinking of cillia (biology, anyone?) Whatever the reason, I don't have happy images in my head with Cyrilla. The meaning doesn't even come into the equation for me. But it is a feminine classic and deserves some attention:

---

Cyrilla Mary
Cyrilla Jane
Cyrilla Petra
Cyrilla Tess (a little hissy?)
Cyrilla Pearl
Cyrilla Inez
Cyrilla Phoebe
Cyrilla Helen

---

Good luck!

They both sound feminine, though I don't care for either. I prefer Marcel (m) to Marcella.

---

For middle names Mae, Sue, Eve, Grace, and Faith are all nice if a bit plain and used as fillers. Why not use Marylin, Susanna, Evelyn, Gracelyn, or Frances instead?

of the two I like Marcella better.

---

I particularly like your combo, Marcella Faith.

ignore- sorry posted twice.
