Horrifying. Ellis would be all right for a boy. But neither is appropriate for a girl. Currer? What is that? It sounds like a surname to me. I dislike surnames as given names.
Charlotte Bronte published her books as Currer Bell, Emily Bronte as Ellis Bell. They were meant to be androgynous. while I generally agree with you on Ellis being better for a boy, I wouldn't like to name my boy after a female author (same as I wouldn't want to name my girl after a male author). not that I want to name my children Currer or Ellis, I just wanted opinions:)
