Ellis - girl or boy?

[Writerz34]

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)

Well, thanks Chat GPT.
However, some of us think it's not unisex...

Babies called Ellis in England & Wales since 1996

I'd think boy but love it for a girl too. Also like Elliott for a girl

Boy

I would expect it to be a boy, but I wouldn't be shocked if it was a girl.

Apologies (NOT) if the fact I dared to add comments offended! My female neighbour is Ellis and my grandfather was Ellis! Hence being unisex.

Listen, OP posed the question and people have different opinions. You have yours and I have mine. You also wrote your comment like some kind of AI trying to sell the name. I'm sure we all know what unisex means and your second sentence is a very odd thing to comment in a conversation.

""Ellis" is a unisex name, meaning it can be used for both boys and girls. Its flexibility and appealing sound have made it a popular choice for either gender."

You weren’t critiquing my opinion, you were mocking my writing style - that’s rude and just not called for. Think you got out of the wrong side of bed!

@RockOrAHardplace , but your post looked like a cut'n'paste of ChatGPT not your own writing style.

I don't think @Gwenhwyfar was being rude, and I suspect that like me she is Welsh, and Ellis/Elis is a Welsh surname and boy's name.

She was critiquing my style and not my opinion and its rude. Tons of others have said Ellis is unisex why pick on me? I have NEVER used chatGPT in my life. Lots of names can be unisex first names and also common surnames - its an increasing trend. i.e Taylor.

"Lots of names can be unisex first names and also common surnames - its an increasing trend. i.e Taylor."

Yes, and here you have used natural writing style. You can surely see why I was bemused by your first comment. First of all an explanation of the word unisex, which we all understand, and then some kind of attempt to 'sell' the name Ellis in language that nobody would use in a normal conversation.

Oh for crying out loud, just stick to the subject at hand - you are not an English teacher critiquing my writing style, we are talking about whether a name is male, female or unisex. You are not challenging my comments but how I wrote it. Get over yourself.
