I like that.

Ellen is more fashionable than Helen, so it wouldn't occur to me that the name was Helen if I heard Ellen..

Ellen Rosemary nice too.

And Ellen's a name that has been around for hundreds of years. So don't understand the 'ooh, but it sounds as if you've got Helen wrong' line of argument. Helen's only become popular in this country relatively recently.

Nobody says that Anna is Hannah wrong. I prefer Anna to Hannah, I prefer Ellen to Helen. Just my taste though of course.

Well my parents neighbours daughter called her dd that a few years ago. I REALLY like the names but I'm not keen on 'gimmick' iyswim. on the other hand if there's no link with leeds I would like it better - illogical I know!

I think ellen is quite a common name (common in a good way), haven't heard any of that type of joke

DD is called Eleanor Rose and she prefers the full version rather than Ellie, although we did use this as a baby.

She has also had no problems with spelling it.

We do sometimes use the nickname Els Bels but she doesn't seem to mind.
