Is this a boy or girls name?

[mothertobe789]

Ellis. I know it is unisex but would you think more of a boy or girl if you heard this name?

[FluffyDavis]

I know 2, both boys

[ForAMinuteThere]

Boy - conjurs up a cheeky one to me.

[MelanieCheeks]

I know 2, both girls. One is a dancer in London, the other a fashion blogger in Scotland.

Name for a boy in reality, with a handful of girls being given it. If you like the sound, I'd go for Alice, definitely girl and elegant and classic, good for adults and as a child.

[Alfie190]

Only heard of it as a surname.

If it had to be a first name, then seems more for a boy.

[BertrandRussell]

I think Alice sounds like a boy. I know one-he's a rock star, so it's definitely unisex. Prefer it for a boy though.

[Madeline88]

Ellis is a boys name. I’d use Alice or Elise for a girl.

[Timetobealive]

I know a girl Ellis but no boys.

[chachaboom]

Boy. 44th most popular boys name in Wales this year. Been around forever.
Usually spelled with one L if proper Welsh though.

[Loupenny25]

I've only known a female Ellis so for me it's a girls name but as all the other comments show it seems gender neutral!

[golddustwomen]

My son is Ellis. I LOVE his name.

[Itisnearlybedtimeyet]

I've heard it on both but I don't think it really suits either - on boys I think "that sounds like a little girl's name" and on girls I think "that sounds like a little boys name" for some reason

[HettyB]

I think of it as primarily a boys name, which is odd as the only one I’ve ever met is female.

[Sarahandduck18]

Prob boy but could be eithet

[fluffygreenmonsterhoody]

I only know one Ellis and she’s a girl.

[clpsmum]

I'm in Scotland and only heard of girls called Ellis

[GoJohnnyGoGoGoGo]

Both.
I've taught many boys with that name and 2 girls.

[LMDC]

The only Ellis I know is female
