I like the nickname Ellie, but I want our DD to have a longer more "grown up" name for when she is older. The only name I can come up with is Elanore and I don't really like that.
One of my favorite girl names is Ellis... I think technically its a boys name but I actually heard it on Gray's Anatomy (Meredith's mom). I know the "Gray's" trends are out of control but I really like this one...

Ha ha - seriously? I didn't know it was becoming a girl's name. Ellis is right near the top of our boy's list. I guess my "taking it back" post above might be more relevant than I thought!

My 8yr old cousin is Elisabeth and she's been Ellie since she was a baby. Now that she is 8 she's decided she wants an "older" sounding nickname.
Not sure what her parents will do.
Its kind of long and big but I have a friend who wanted to name her little girl Ellington (Her maiden name) and call her Elle or Ellie.
Or Elise.
