Ellie, short for...?

[chickpea1982]

DH and I like Ellie, but we're not so keen on Eleanor. What else could Ellie be short for?

Elena, Ellen, Elspeth, Elaine, maybe Elizabeth

Eliana

Elise. Elissa. Elara. Elizabeth

I know various Ellies. Their full names are: Eleanor, Elizabeth, Eloise and Isabella.

Elizabeth
Eloise
Elowen
Estella
Stella
Fenella
Gabrielle/a

and any of Isabella/annabella/arabella - Bella is more common but no reason it couldn’t be Ellie or Ella

Ella? That was on my girl short list I love it

Thank you all! Or could she just be "Ellie" on its own?

Exactly, it’s evolved like Sophie from Sophia

I knew one who was Elle (pronounced L) and it was lengthened to Ellie when she was little as Elle seemed like a very grown up name on a toddler.

Eliana
Elora
Elandra
Elenora
Elena
Ellen
Elizabeth
Ella
Elise

Graziella, Gabrielle/a, Elena, Eleanor, Michelle

It could be anything with the el sound.

But absolutely you could have Ellie in its own right. My DD is a similar and I didn't like any of the long versions so had she shorter version in its own right.

Eleanor

I love eloise or just ellie as it is x

Eloise

I know a girl Elliott who is known as Ellie

Elisheva?

It's a name in its own right.
I recently met a lovely lady named Ellie from Poland! She was just Ellie. It's quite fascinating how Ellie can be both a common and informal name, as well as a prefix for more sophisticated and elegant names. The other Ellie I know is an Eloise. There are 5 Ella's in my nieces year group (she's 13) but l no Ellie's.

My daughter is Ellie-May 💖

I'm struggling to think of a negative/unpleasant Eleanor, but Elinor is another alternative (as in Dashwood).

Eliza

Elisha?

Elinor
Elin
Elsie
Eleni

Gabriella

My niece is Ellie, full name Eloise. Only gets used when she’s in trouble 😂 Beautiful name though.

I know a few people called Ellie and that’s their full name.

Mirabel
Marielle
Isabelle
Anabelle
Estelle
