Husband loves Ellie for DD due in January. I have worked with children for a long time and have met many many Ellie’s so it doesn’t feel fresh and exciting to me and isn’t making my heart sing. I also like a longer name that has options which Ellie doesn’t. So I’m wondering if we can come up with a compromise and find a long name I love, which can sometimes be shortened to the name he loves.
I like Eloise and Eliana but I don’t think they’re quite right.
Does anyone have any suggestions of names that are feminine but strong and can be shortened to Ellie?
TIA
