  1. I heard the name shortly after I had my first daughter and thought it would be a really great name. It’s not too out there and at the same time not common. Also I wanted a name that wasn’t too long.

  2. Zella is our fourth daughter and she is almost two. She is named after her maternal great grandma. She is rather nixie. She copies everything her big sisters do. She is very good at listening and obeying… if she knows your watching lol. Her middle name is Rose.
