What do you think of Ornella?

Normally, I don't think I'd go for it. I'm more of an Orla person. But gorgeous Italian actress Ornella Muti really made me love it. Plus it has a great meaning. Nn Nell?

Possible combos: Ornella Sophie, Ornella Pascale? Others?

It's very reminiscent of Ornella Muti indeed. I'm not the greatest fan of her myself, yes, she's stunning but not very talented IMHO. Anyway, Ornella is nice but a bit frilly, I'd also be more inclined toward Orla.

I confess I haven't seen her act. The photos are what caught my attention.

Thanks for the reply. :-)

Thanks. All of your combinations are great, but Ornella Gwendolen interests me strangely. Hmmm. . . .

I prefer Orla.
I like the meaning of Ornella, it's not unpleasant but it doesn't do anything for me.

Orla

I, too, prefer Orla.

I don't think Ornella is hideous or anything, and I do like that Nell is a possible nn, but...there's something about Ornella that feels funny when I say it. It reminds me a little too much of the words ornament and ornate (come to think of it, that's appropriate since it's more or less an ornate version of Orla). For some entirely unkonwn reason, Ornella also reminds me of popcorn.

Popcorn

lol. Are you thinking of Orville Redenbacher (sp?) and his popcorn?

Thanks for the giggle.
