Hi everyone,

I’d like to find a girl name that has similar pronunciation with “Alice” but starts with “El.”

I like the sound “EH – l – ih – s” but not sure how it is spelled in the US.
How would you spell it?

Here are some “El” options I found online:
Ellis. (Boy name?)
Elise. (Pronounces “E–lees”? Don’t really like the sound of “E.”)
Ellise. (How does it pronounce?)

Please let me know if you have any thoughts!
I’d appreciate all the suggestions.

My sister is called Ellis so I’ve always seen it as a girls name and I find it too pretty to be a boys name!

She gets loads of compliments on it. She’s in her late 20’s.

Ellise I'd say the same as Elise although I don't know if that's correct. Eloise?

If you want to call your daughter Ellis then I’d just spell it Ellis to be honest!
Or Elice then she can say “like Alice with an E” every time she has to spell her name.
