I love this name. It sounds quite feminine. Why not for a girl?

No its awful for a boy or a girl.

Why not Eleanor?

Dislike Ellie though.

Ellis is a boys name (has rising in both UK and US top hundred boys names for a few years now).

The number of little girls called Ellie has dropped (a bit), but you can still expect to find plenty around (Ella, Eleanor, and Ellie as a free-standing name, have been in/near the top 20 for about a decade).

I agree Ellis is a boys name, I knew a boy at school called Elliot but never heard a girl called that.
Elisa?

i knew a female ellis too. she'd be about 12 now. Grin

i actually quite like ellis for a girl.

one of my girls is an elise though, so i'm probably biased!
