A name I love is Brielle. you could still use Ellie as a nickname.
Also, Gabrielle or Arielle come to mind...
thanks for the thoughts! Will let you know what we decide when she gets here :)
I was going to name my bub Olivia if it was a girl...but I'm having a boy! I love the name Olivia. I just think it's beautiful and if my next bub is a girl, that will prob. be her name! So, Olivia gets my vote! :)
I just love Olivia. I have a friend who's daughter is named Olivia. We call her livvy which is soooo cute. if they weren't such good friends i would choose Olivia!
I love the name Elle it's so pretty and so formal. Ellie is adorable tho what a cute nickname! I think your best bet in picking out a first name is if the formal and nickname sounds good with your last name! I love Elle it's a beautiful name!
