Do you think of Ellis being a girls or boys name?

(There are people of both genders with the name but wondering what comes to mind)

I know both but girl is my first thought.

Sounds more masculine but I think it could work for a girl too.

I'd assume a boy. Is it Elle-iss?

I know an Elisse, pronounced Elle-eese and female

Boy. The girl I know spells it Ellice.

GreyhoundGal1 · 16/12/2024 19:21

Definitely boy. 561 new babies called Ellis were boys in 2023 Vs 26 girls.

If I had to choose I'd say boy but I do know of a girl called Ellis

Coconutter24 · 16/12/2024 19:23

Boy

leia24 · 16/12/2024 19:23

Boy

Boy. It's very popular in Wales, and often spelt Elis. Elis James - Wikipedia

Elis is #19 most popular boy's name in Wales.

TeenLifeMum · 16/12/2024 19:32

Boy.

Hollyhollyberry · 16/12/2024 19:33

Boy but I knew a girl with the name she was a beautiful human being so I’ve always liked it for a girl

SybilTheSpy · 16/12/2024 19:33

I think it's a Welsh boys' name but I do know a teenage girl called Ellis.

RacingThoughts111 · 16/12/2024 19:33

I know a Male and a female named Ellis but to me it's more of a boy name

HaddyAbrams · 16/12/2024 19:33

Boy. But I think it would be really cute for a girl too.

UltramarineViolet · 16/12/2024 19:34

I would assume boy

I know of 2 boys called Ellis

I don't know any girls called Ellis but I do know an Elise which sounds similar I suppose

caringcarer · 16/12/2024 19:34

When I think of Ellis I think of Meredith's Mum on Grey's Anatomy.
