Mary Ella? vs. double 1st names?

I don’t normally go for double middle names, but Mary is a family name- -my mother’s middle name -both of my husbands granmother’s names -his sister’s name -his cousin’s name (who died in a car crash when she was 16) -and even his mother’s name is Martha, which is simialr to Mary. I figure naming her Mary would be paying tribute to many people, plus I think it’s cute. However, I want her to have her OWN name, since Mary is shared by so many people, so I would like to name her Mary Ella and just call her Ella. What are the thoughts on that? Oh- added bonus, my grandmother’s name is Ellen, so it would pay tribute to her as well. Open to middle name suggestions, I was thinking Anne, since it is my other grandmother’s name and fits with the very old-fashioned theme we have going. Sorry this is long, Thanks!

i actually just wanted to suggest Mariella, it’s GORGEOUS! Mary Emma or Mary Alice is nice, but Ella Mary is so cute!

hmmm....Mariella is not a bad suggestion. I will definitely run that by the hubby.
An Alice was a major contender, I LOVE it, but our last name starts with "schl" (which you pronounce like "shl")so we have to avoid names with "s" sounds at all costs or else you spit all over the place! ;-)

Mariela is beautiful, i also love Mary Ella but i think you should all her Mary or Mary Ella at least some of the time, otherwise there’s little point in having Mary at the front of her name, i don’t think Mary Ella Anne flows well, how about Marianela, combines Mary,Ella and Anne, it’s a spanish name
