Is this a proper name?

Ellery? I really like the sound of it but don't want a name that sounds made up. I know Eleri is the Welsh version and a proper name but what about Ellery? And how would you pronounce it - Ella-ree? Any more suggestions of similar names would be much appreciated.

I've met a female Ellery (granted, she was american). She was a lovely, gracious person, and I think it's a gorgeous name.

If you like it then go for it. The name is not that common people will have a issue with it supposedly being a different sex name. (and they soon enough unisex other names)

Imo Ellery looks more like a girls name anyway
