Looking for a girl's name where "Ella" is the nickname. Isabella, Arabella and Gabriella are out of the question for us. So far I can think of Eleanor. Anyone have any good suggestions? Thanks!

There's Ellery - traditionally masculine, but with the rise of Avery up the popularity charts, I suspect the similar-sounding Ellery will follow.
You might also consider Elodie. It sounds like Melody minus the "m," but is actually derived from a saint's name. It's a bit French-fried, and if your girl were in Paris, she'd be called "ay-loh-dee." Assuming you live on the other side of the Atlantic, this could work.
Just like the surname name Emerson leads to the girlie nicknames Emma or Emmie, you might use Ellis. Like Taylor and Madison, it has a unisex feel, but wouldn't be suprising on a girl.
There's also Elspeth - the Scottish version of Elizabeth. I think that's a fun name with a sort of exotic, up-market feel.
There's Elena, the Spanish version of Helen.
And, of course, if you want your little Ella to eventually live at the Plaza and get into all sorts of hijinks, you might use it as a nickname for Eloise.
For names that end in -ella, the list is everlong! Annabella, Arabella, Daniela, Giselle, Mehitabel (though that one is pretty far out there), Marielle, or even Laurel, Mabel or Hazel.
Personally, I'd opt for Marielle or Elspeth.
Good luck!

I like the name Eleanor. But you could do something like... Ariella, Avarielle, Avariella, Annabella, Daniella, or just Ella.

How about Eliana / Elian(n)e?
("The girl's name Eliana \e-lia-na\ is pronounced el-ee-AH-nah. It is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning is "the Lord answers". May also be related to the Greek "elios" meaning "god of the sun", and the name may thus mean "daughter of the sun")
It's pretty, yet not very common and can easily be made into Ella - which is beautiful!!!!
Hope this helps!
=)
PS - Congratulations!!!!
