posting for a friend.

what do you think?

i said i'd worry about folk thinking her names helen, but people are dropping the H

[milkgoddessmakesthefinestmilk]

thanks shes picked that as the girls choice, now see out thread about miles for a boys name

[edam]

buwch, one of my sister's names is Elen. Think it's much prettier than Ellen, somehow.

[stepfordwife]

lovely
my gran was called ellen

[lucyellensmum]

My MIL is called Ellen Rose, but don't worry, she is lovely

It really wouldnt worry about the H dropping thing, it doesnt sound like that as there seems to be more emphasis on the El sound.

roe roserose rose - every kid is rose

[BuwchBywiog]

I like it, we have a welsh version of Ellen spelled with only one L ... just thought I'd share that!

[somersetmum]

dd's middle name is Ellen

[RusselBrussel]

Beautiful

[Cezzy]

DD is called Eleanor Rose and she prefers the full version rather than Ellie, although we did use this as a baby.

She has also had no problems with spelling it.

We do sometimes use the nickname Els Bels but she doesn't seem to mind.

[Thinkstoomuch]

Love it.

[princessglitter]

pretty name.

[GrapeJelly]

Very pretty. You could call her Ellie Rose too

[StealthPolarBear]

I think ellen is quite a common name (common in a good way), haven't heard any of that type of joke

[milkgoddessmakesthefinestmilk]

oh ive just been asked to post, what about all the hell and back type jokes?

there must be loads of hell jokes?

[StealthPolarBear]

Well my parents neighbours daughter called her dd that a few years ago. I REALLY like the names but I'm not keen on 'gimmick' iyswim. on the other hand if there's no link with leeds I would like it better - illogical I know!

[mamabea]

like it very much

[milkgoddessmakesthefinestmilk]

polar bear, you worked it out.
so do you like it ?

[StealthPolarBear]

Leeds is the onyl thing that comes to my mind

[melpomene]

very nice

[milkgoddessmakesthefinestmilk]

oh yes we all[well us here] prefer ellen to helen, but just wondering about confusion

[CuckooClockWorkShy]

Nobody says that Anna is Hannah wrong. I prefer Anna to Hannah, I prefer Ellen to Helen. Just my taste though of course.

[milkgoddessmakesthefinestmilk]

[milkgoddessmakesthefinestmilk]
