Girls Names... DP driving me NUTS

OK started a new thread so a bit easier for people to read.
I have a 10mth old DD who's name is AVA LILLY we are due to have #2 in Jan and needed names.

I liked the following but these are out:
Isabelle - cousin just used this as her DD2's middle name
Charlotte - DP doesn't like

DP suggested ZARA and i didn't mind this, still need some middle name ideas.

He has now suggested that he likes ELLA... i LOVE this name but a friend has a little girl who's about 4mths and her name is ELLA, she lives 2hrs away, we don't see her often and she is more a family friend than a personal friend.
Would it be rude to use this name? I have sent her a msg on FB and asked if she would mind.. it's not set in stone but don't want to offend anyone...

OK so i need some suggestions for middle names to go with ELLA and ZARA and possibly still some ideas on first names... i know i'm asking a lot but i am sick of calling her #2.. she's going to get a complex.

ELLA .......
ZARA .......
????????

Thanks in advance

I like the sound of Zara Rose

I'm biased, as my DD is Ella Grace, so i love the name Ella. Having said that, I really like Tinks suggestion of Zara Rose..very pretty!

GL with your choice!

well our top 2 contenders are Ella Kate and Ella Rose if that helps

Ella_bear - Hehe i said to DP what about Ella Grace.. not sure where i got Grace from... will have to work on him maybe!

I like Zara Rose but not sure about staying with the flower middle names... hmm which goes better with Ava is something i guess i need to consider too.

What about Ellie instead of Ella if you don't want 2 names ending in A.

what about Ella Louise?
or maybe you could look at bella?
but i do have to admit i love Zara.. or Zarah

by the looks of it you and DP love cute girlie names what do you think of

Mia?
Megan?
Elyse?

brookemorrison - funny thing is i am a bit of a tomboy so the fact we have Ava Lilly was funny to my friends but girls are girls and i just like the names... lol

I like Mia but DP is not sure, i think he might actually stick to Ella this time which might be nice but am just not 100% on where to go with it.
Not sure about Ella Louise and i think it might sound too much like Eloise?

Ohh why does it have to be so hard.... lol keep the ideas flowing though it's much appreciated, different input is always great.
DP's surname is Lutter so i have to take this into account too.. pronounced like Stutter but with an L... lol

i LOVE both those names, Ella was one of my choices but DH doesnt like it.
We love Zara too but have a close relative with that name so it wouldnt be right.
I really like Ella Louise too :)

Good luck, its not easy, is it lol.

Ella is such a beautiful, pretty name. I love it.
What about Ella Ruby?

I really liked Eliana Zaidie when I was preggers with Liebs (DH didn't) - what about Ella Zara? Or Ellie Zara?

Ella Faye, Ella Charlotte, Ella Briony, Ella Marion...
Zara Michelle, Zara Ffion, Zara Marie, Zara Belle...

If her middle name isn't going to be used a great deal then Ella Lutter is a bit of a tongue twister when you say it out loud. Might also be a good idea to avoid having an S running into your last name ....s Lutter if you get my drift.
Zara is beautiful. What about Zoe, Kate or Chloe as first names?
For middle names I like:
Zara/Zoe Kate
Zara/Zoe Mia
Zoe Adele
Zara/Zoe Audrey
Zara Chloe
Zara/Zoe Mairead
Zara/Zoe Jane
Zara/Zoe Madeline
Zara/Zoe Maeve
Zara Phoebe
Zara Ruby

Hope that helps

LOL....funny thing is my DH chose DD's name! - we were just throwing names around and he came up with Ella Grace which i loved, so it stuck :)

If you were to name your DD the same, hers would be Ella Grace Lutter....quite nice i think, but up to you guys!

BLOODY MEN SUCK... lol sorry guys DP rings me before and says... oh guess what!
His friend who is moving back to Melb and who we used to spend a lot of time with has a little girl.. and her name... ELLA so now thats out... OMG

I am over calling her #2 but have resigned myself to the fact DP will prob never make a decision! hmmmm

oh that sucks.

Our second choice was Ella, its a very pretty name.

Zara is gorgeous too!

Hey ava's mum- My name is Ella, my middle name is Matilda, don't know if you like that.
I always wanted to be Ella Rose though so I like that...

Ella Matilda
Ella Rose

What about Bella? or Stella? or Emma?

Zara Mae
Zara Jayne /Jane
Zara Marie

Do you like Grace as a first name? I know it's become very common as either first or second name.
Can you use Isabelle anyway? How much does it matter if it's you cousin's child's 2nd name?

Would he/you like any of these first names - they're all quite girly:
Ruby, Holly, Phoebe, Imogen, Cassandra, Josephine, Portia, Emily, Amelia

Unfortunately she is one of those cousins that would tell everyone we chose the name cos of her daughter.. etc etc, very high maintenance and not worth the trouble... lol
I like Ruby and Imogen but have very close friends who's daughters have those names and Amelia is my niece.. :-( we have a huge family etc it's hard choosing something that goes with DD1's name aswell as that we like... hmmmm
Don't think Cassandra would work as our dogs name is Cassie... hehe

I am still thinking Zara and i like Grace but DP doesn't like it as a first name.

Thanks everyone, keep the ideas flowing, any suggestions a good one right now... get DP's butt into gear.. hehe

Does your DP not like Grace as a first name? If so, what about Zara Grace? - that way you get to use both names you like?

Zara Ellise

Hmm told DP last night we REALLY need to think of a name for #2, in my mind i think i have found one a like but he's not 100% sure, maybe if i work on him.

I like Zara Grace , what do you guys think?

And does it go with Ava L L ?

I hope we can decide soon... i looked at the meanings and
Zara is Hebrew meaning Princess.
Grace is Irish, meaning love.

Ava is Latin for Living one. The Latin form of the Hebrew Eve.
Lilly is Latin for The Lily flower. God's oath.

What about Zahli?

I think Zara Grace is gorgeous and goes perfect with Ava Lilly.

Zara Grace is lovely and I think it goes well with Ava Lilly.

You're good picking names already, we haven't got a clue on girls names for ours!

She did end up being Zara Grace!
