Hello! My Name Is....


Hi!!  My name is Ella!  The year I was born, my name wasn't even in the top 1,000 most popular baby names.  I was the ONLY Ella in my school district until I graduated. 

I was NOT named after Ella Fitzgerald.  She is a lovely jazz singer, but I was named for my great-grandmother, Ella Mary Bolton.  No, my name isn't Ella Mary.  It's Ella.  Not Eleanore.  Not Ella-phant.  Not Ella Enchanted.  Not "Under my umbrella-ella-ella-eh-eh-eh..."  Just Ella.  :)

I like my name.  It used to be unusual until 2000 when John Travolta decided to name his daughter Ella Blue.  Now EVERYONE is naming their daughters Ella.  I've met more Ella's than I can shake a stick at!!  But I'm the most epic one I know!  :D  Just saying...  :P

So now you all know... THE TRUTH!!!  Lol.  :P  Hope it wasn't a major let-down for you guys.  I'm sure someone somewhere was expecting some kind of really obscure and weird name like Rumpelstiltskin or something.  But nope!!  I'm Ella!  :D



Scooter Out.

    Ella is a very pretty name. I know a character from Maximum Ride named Ella and my aunt and uncle are adopting a little girl from China they're going to name Eleanor and call Ella or Ellie for short. And I was only two letters away with Emma! Curses! But congrats, Marquee =D

    Can you still post a picture of this owl, Scooter? I still wanna see it =)

      Hee hee. Thanks, hon! At least I've given up on Strawbridge-Cumberbatch, that would be too close to child abuse.
