What do people think of Ellen?

I love it, but will she get confused with all those Ellas and Ellie's out there?

Will there be H/Ellen confusions in places where people drop their 'h's?

Thanks for your opinions. We do live in Yorkshire so the dropped Hs could well be an issue.
Ellen Degeneras really annoyed me when she got married lately and said how lucky she was to have a wife to cook and clean for her- a man could never get away with that and a woman shouldn't either! But it doesn't really colour my impression of the name. I was thinking of Ellen McArthur who sailed around the world on her own or something at the age of 26, now that is quite inspiring. DD if she is like me or DH will get sea sick on cross channel ferries but at least the singleminded determination and hard work is something to aspire to.

Go for it, it's lovely! There is a river Ellen where I am from, I've always liked it.
