Full names for the nn Ellie

29 replies

We love the name Ellie, but I have a bit of a thing for giving a child a full version of a name rather than a nickname.

So please could you give me all the full Ellie names you can think of?! Thanks. We've already discounted Eleanor, Elizabeth and Eliza for one reason or another. Smile

I think we're sold on Elise GrinGrinGrin So exciting to have decided. And we both love it in it's own right, so she may well be Elise but love the Ellie too. My mum's name is Eleanor, you see, and her nn was Ellie. So it'll be nice to acknowledge her in that way too. And Elise means 'pledged to God' which as Christians, it's a bonus having such a great meaning.

Thank you all Grin

Now just need a middle name....

We have an Ellen Elizabeth, known as Nellie Lizzie at times, but usually just Ellie

Elise is really lovely. DD's name is mentioned many times on this thread and is lovely but I sometimes wish we'd gone for Elise. It probably doesn't matter though as we usually call her Elle.

Elise is beautiful - I would actually stick with that rather than Ellie!

I know an Elvina! Wonder if it is the same one. The one I know is my dad's uncles wife

My Nanny was called Elvina, I have never met any others and think it's delightful.
