Ellis- would you use this for a boy or a girl?

[lollipopz]

I liked this if baby turned out to be a boy but recently heard of a wee girl with the name.
What is the mn opinion!
Don't want to give a boy a girls name iyswim!
This is dc 4 and the name sounds nice with the other dcs names.

In so far as it's a name at all (it's a last neam in my opinion!) it's a boy's name. It would be awful for a girl!

[thisisyesterday]

if I heard it I would assume boy.
but it could suit a girl too. i am probably the only one who will say that on here though lol

[savoycabbage]

Boy.

[PeachyBAHonsPRSCertOnRequest]

Have a nephew Ellis, lovely name.

[lollipopz]

Thanks thats what I thought, still need to work on dh though as its not traditional enough for him, wouldn't use it if baby is a girl btw!

[Wigglesworth]

Boys name, defo!

[MrsMattie]

Ellis or Elias - boy

Elise - girl

[cyteen]

boy. a friend from NCT has a little Ellis, he's lovely

[paolosgirl]

No - Ellis in my DS's class is a girl!

[Tigerschick]

Definitely a boy's name.
I know a lovely 9-year old Ellis.

[madwomanintheattic]

I know both girls and boys with the name.

The one girl who is dd1's friend is lovely, very sweet, and it suits her.

[Tigerschick]

Ah - yes, MrsMattie, Elise is a girl's name ... perhaps that's where confusion can arise.

[bluebump]

My friend has a lovely Ellis and he's a boy.

[islandofsodor]

My cousin's son's middle name is Ellis. It was chosen as it was his grandmother's maiden name.

[ILoveBrucie]

I would use it as a surname only!!

[NormaLeighLucid]
