Ella-Jade Northman or Ella Jade Northman.
Either way works.
Some possible names include:
Flower names, like Lily, Rose, Daisy, Violet, or Poppy.
Names of your favorite characters, like Ariel, Jasmine, Pip or Elsa.
Something that rhymes with your name, like Bailey (if your name is Hailey), Angeline (if your name is Christine), or Flora (if your name is Laura).
Something with the same first letter as your name, like Kayla (if your name is Kristen), Monica (if your name is Mary), or Ivy (if your name is Isabelle). -
