New Zealand Baby Names

There are a couple of double-l names that I like: Willa and Bellatrix. I feel like the ‘trix’ (and possibly the mad HP association) takes the frilly edge (ruffle? :P) off Bella. Willa I think has enough assertiveness to have two ‘l’s.
I like Mirabel, which is more commonly spelt Mirabelle (but I think that’s too frilly).
I like Ellen, but I think (and maybe Willa belongs in this category too) that because it’s not an elle/ella or belle/bella name, the double ‘l’ doesn’t count towards its frill quotient much at all.

I had forgotten about Bellatrix! I am attracted to Beatrix cause of the spunky Trix! In some ways Willa is a lot more tom boyish than the frilly Willow do you think? Willa/Willow would be honoring for me as my Dad’s middle is William. Ellen always makes me think of Meredith character on Grey’s Anatomy, Ellen would also honor my Dad Allan. So hard to choose honoring middles when you have so many family members you want to acknowledge/connect the child too. What do you think about family middles?

My favourite from your list is Marcella, but Calliope and Millicent are also amazing 🙂 I was also recently nanny to a Bella, so that name has a special place in my heart..
Looking through my own list, these pop up:
Aello/Aella
Allura
Apolline/Apollonia
Arella
Bellisant
Bellona
Callista/Callisto
Calluna
Capella
Collatina
Cyrilla
Della
Domitilla/Domitille
Ellevine
Emanuelle
Endellion
Evellia
Illyria
Isabelline
Llewella
Lovella
Luella
Marbella/Marabella
Mariella/Marilla/Marella/Morella
Mazelle
Mellona
Meriall
Millaray
Millay
Noelle/Noella (my favourite way to get Nell)
Novella
Olallie
Pellonia
Phillida
Philonella
Priscilla
Quartilla
Rollinia
Rozelle
Sollemnia
Vallonia
Vellamo
Willamina
Ysella
Zillah
Apolline, Bellisant, Calluna, Emanuelle, Luella, Marbella, Millaray, Olallie, Phillida, Rozelle, Willamina and Zillah are my favoruites, but Olallie is probably the one I’m most likely to use since my father is called Olav and Olallie would be named after him 🙂

WOW what a great list I am automatically attracted to the more unusual ones- Aello, Calluna, Enedellion, Luella, Millay, Noella, Pellonia and Ysella.
I have never heard of Olallie how do you say this? What are your top names atm? 🙂 thanks for sharing your list 🙂

I think Olallie is a hybrid blackberry actually. It’s a Chinook term for berry pronounced OH-lah-lee, but I pronounce it more like a variant of Eulalie (which it is not) with the stress on the second syllable (oh-LALL-ee?)… Olalla is a form of Eulalie, but the double-l is pronounced like a Y since it’s a Spanish form…
This is where I found her (Millaray is there as well):

I think they’re really cute, but can’t use as my surname has a strong LL sound in it as well, which would be a bit much.
I admire them on others though.

Aren’t last names tricky sometimes! We quite like some formal/surname sounding first names but with Hamilton as a last name I don’t know if they go so well.

I think the “frilly” factor really depends on the name as a whole, not just whether or not it has a double L. From the list I love Isabella, Stella, Annabelle, Willow, Allegra, Arabella, Millicent, Romilly, Sally and Tallulah because it’s my sister’s name 🙂 I’m glad Sally’s coming back a bit (I know two little girls called Sally, one’s about 5 or 6 and her brother is Hamish, and the other one is 1 or 2 and her older sister is called Matilda), I think it’s so cute!

You do make a good point 🙂 I guess the Elle/Ella names always have seemed very frilly to me but your right others like Ellen, Willa seem to hold a tom boyish feel still.
