buwch, one of my sister's names is Elen. Think it's much prettier than Ellen, somehow.

stepfordwife · 02/08/2008 23:24

lovely
my gran was called ellen

My MIL is called Ellen Rose, but don't worry, she is lovely

It really wouldnt worry about the H dropping thing, it doesnt sound like that as there seems to be more emphasis on the El sound.

I like it, we have a welsh version of Ellen spelled with only one L ... just thought I'd share that!

somersetmum · 02/08/2008 22:32

dd's middle name is Ellen

RusselBrussel · 02/08/2008 22:23

Beautiful

Cezzy · 02/08/2008 22:23

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.

Love it.

princessglitter · 02/08/2008 22:19

pretty name.

GrapeJelly · 02/08/2008 22:18

Very pretty. You could call her Ellie Rose too

StealthPolarBear · 02/08/2008 20:48

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

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!

mamabea · 02/08/2008 20:44

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