Why does everyone hate Ellie so much?

Hello. I am an Eleanor nn Ellie. I've always loved both forms of my name but I always see on here that everyone hates the nn Ellie. I'm not offended I just wondered why? I don't know many children but I see that lots of people seem to prefer the nn Nell which personally I always hated as it sounds so frumpy! Just curious- is it the popularity? Has it become a bit chavvy? Honest answers- genuinely just curious!... X

I like it.

I've not seen anyone slating Ellie tbh. It's a perfectly ordinary, popular name.

I don't hate it! I love it. My dd has your name and nn.

Mn has a weird way of seeming to 'gang' up on certain names. Just ignore Smile

It's probably because it rhymes with smelly. That's the sort of thing that seems to matter on the baby names board.
