Ellis

[rowan-belle.livejournal.com]

I've always wanted to have the nickname for one of my daughters be Elle. So for a long time I thought I'd name her Ellis and call her Elle for short. Then I switched to liking Eleanor for the long version. But now I'm kind of back to Ellis... What does everyone think of it? Does it seem like a fake name? I feel like Eleanor might be more meaningful so I'm not really sure which one to choose now.

In England I've known quite a few girls with Ellis as their first name. The only guys I know with it are those for whom it is their surname. Hope that helps. Personally, I like it. It's different from the more common Eleanor or Eloise.
