I like a lot of them (like Luella Capucine and Luella Mathilde), but I really like Luella Audrey. :)

It looks a bit truncated: what about Louella instead? OK, it's a lot of vowels, but they all do an obvious job.

Agnes; Beatrice; Caroline; Cecily; Frances; Margaret; Marjorie; Mary; Rosemary; Vivien.

I've got a niece who is Louanne Shirley. Also pretty. Louella Shirley, perhaps?

There's a trendy fashion designer here called Luella (Luella Bartley) so it makes me think of stupidly expensive handbags, which I don't like at all. But! - you do make lovely combos with it, and I think any of them would work wonderfully.

It makes me think of puella. It makes me think of a little girl, or a baby doll, with a pink dress and blonde curls you'd want to comb.
I much prefer Llewella, which I just discovered thanks to the member with this name.

My favourite are:
Luella Catherine
Luella Charlotte
Luella Constance
Luella Ermengarde
Luella Frances
Luella Hester
Luella Mary
Luella Maud
Luella Mildred

I'm glad someone likes Bethsabée!

Luella reminds me of Louella Parsons. Personally, I think it's too old-fashioned and rather frumpy. Perfect for a 1930's gossip columnist, but for a modern girl? Not so much.

I can see it becoming a hipster favorite.

I don't find it cheesy. It's a bit frilly but it's too country to be really cheesy, in my opinion.

I like it a lot, though. It's pretty. I also like Luana a lot.

Luella Rosemary would be my favorite but I like almost all of your combos :)
