Ellis - For a girl??

[lilaloves]

Dh's recent suggestion,is it too masculine??

I can't decide if I like it or not.Would people always hear Alice.

Would Elise sound better?

Ellis is too surnamey and yes, rather masculine. Elise is much nicer IMHO.

I don't like Ellis for a girl.

I really like Elise and Elliott though.

I know both a girl and boy called Ellis. I prefer the name for a girl to me it sounds a little wimpish for a boy.

Yes it does sound a liitle masculine for me too.

Dh not too keen on Elise,will keep thinking.

I know 2 people called Ellis and they are both boys. I think Elise is nice for a girl.

I know a girl called Ellis. I wouldnt use it for a boy.

I know a boy Ellis and a girl Ellis.

I love the name Elise for a girl

I think it's far nicer for a girl than a boy. Not too masculine -- actually a bit more feminine imo.

I know two girls named Emerson (shortened to Em and Emmie) and I think Ellis will become more and more a girl's name as it can be shortened to Ellie/Ella -- don't know if that's off-putting to you or your DH. There are thousands and thousands of Ellies and Ellas.

After much discussion last night Ellis morphed into Elise,then Alix then Alexa...

Is Elise still best choice?

Alix is OK although I'd spell it Alex. Prefer Elise, but the best choice? Can't say - it's what's best for you.

Eloise, Eliza, Alyssa, Elsa, Alicia, Lucy, Louisa, Louise?

I know two little boys named Ellis. Love Alexa. If I ever had a DD this Alexa be on my shortlist.

Alexa's my favourite without doubt. Not keen on Ellis, Elise is slightly better and Alix is awful (but Alex is nice).

I love Alix. Elise is very nice though.

No, don't like it at all, sorry.

Elise is lovely. And I like Eliza too.

Also could be Ellice or Elice.

How about Eilis or Eilish ? ( eye leash)

I know an adult female Ellis. I think she is Danish. She is very glam and her name suits her perfectly well.

What about Eilidh (Aylie)
Eilish (Eye-lish or Ay-lish)

(not sure I have got either of these spellings correct - think they are irish or Scottish names)

Prefer Eloise to Elise.

Ellen/Elen?

Alice?

Dilys?

I know a Dutch Elles, pronounced like Ellis. Would that work?

I know a female Ellis and she is gorgeous

My DD3 has a name more commonly associated with a boy and she is gorgeous with it - she's really made it work for her

My sil was going to call my niece Ellis but was put off because everyone said it was a boyish name.

I have seen pictures of Bibibelle's dd3 and she really suits her name and is scrumptious with it!

I like Lexie and Elena

I like it it's merediths mothers name in greys anatomy and always liked it

Ah Fimbo thank you

The first 2 Ellis' I met were girls, I now know 2 boys withe the name. One of the female ones spelt ir Elys I believe.
