Ella's Popularity in 2011: #12

Ella is one of the fastest rising names among the glitterati -- including the John Travoltas, the Warren Beattys, Ben Stiller, Eric Clapton, and Mark Wahlberg -- riding on the coattails of both the Isabella and Emma bandwagons. Ella Fitzgerald adds a jazzy edge.

One appeal of Ella: It sounds both vintage and modern at the same time. Although it hasn't been used much for a few generation and so sounds fresh, there are an awful lot of little girls named Ella running around -- along with those called Ellie and Bella. While it has much to recommend it, don't say we didn't warn you about Ella Enchanted's popularity.
