Love it. My husband's great grandmother was named Luella. She was unfortunately kind of crazy but I adore the name. I think the nickname possibilities are awesome... Lu, Elle, Ella, Ellie, etc. I think it is uniquely old fashioned.

My first thought is: shoe brand. Of course, if you have no plans to live in South Africa you should be fine.

It feels very country music, which isn't necessarily a bad thing :)

A couple of years ago I met a 10 year old girl called Luella and I loved the name from the second she introduced herself! It suited her perfectly (spunky, sweet and confident) and I could see it aging well.

I love Luella so much. I read a book that included a little girl named Luellen whose nickname was Lulie, so that's another nickname possibility. I haven't yet heard of a nickname I don't like for this name, and I love the full name as well. I see no cons with it.

I had an ancestor named Luella! I like it. Very old-fashioned, but you could get a lot of nicknames out of it: Ella/Ellie, Lou, Lulu...

If the kid is going to be a country singer from Kentucky, then it works.
