I love the name Ellis for a boy.

My mum, who is a primary school teacher, says that it is a girls name and a boy called Ellis will be teased.

I know that Ellie is very popular for girls but is Ellis?

Thanks!

Oh, and they don't know each other and live in 3 different cities if that helps

Ellis is definitely a lovely name for a boy. Never heard of it being a female name.

I know two boys and one girl called Ellis. I think I prefer it for a boy.
