What names are Ella/Ellie short for?

NicksKysmett · February 2009

Just found out we're expecting number three. If it takes us as long to name this one as the last we really should start now!

I really like Ella for a nickname. Any suggestions which names it might be short for? I know there are probably a few. TIA!

Eleanor, Evelyn, Elaine

Either could be short for Eleanor.

Isabella and Annabel also come to mind. I know a little girl just named Elle.

My Ellie is Elliot. There's also Elena, Isabella, Gabriella, Elizabeth.

ella and ellie are really cute names, just remember they are everywhere now. related names i can think of are ellis, ellison, eleanor, elle, ellen, or you could even find a name that ends in that sound like luella or something similar. i think it's good if you're choosing a trendy nickname like that to give her a traditional-sounding first name. you might look through english/ other european surnames for good ones. good luck!

Eleanor? Penelope?

i think it's good if you're choosing a trendy nickname like that to give her a traditional-sounding first name.

Those are my thoughts exactly. My daughters are Isabelle Grace and Charlotte Rose. We call them Isa/Izzy and Charli. I love traditional names and try not to pick anything too, too popular but sometimes they get more popular after you name your kiddo. I thought of Madeleine Jane for one option, with Ella/Ellie as a possible nickname but thoght it might be a stretch - also Madelyn is seems SUPER popular the last few years.

DH and I can't agree on ANY boy names. We both like Cole for a nickname but I'm not a huge fan of Colton. Throw in the middle name must be Paul.

I love Ella being short for Marielle or Mirabelle/Mirabella.

Elliana was on our list as a girls name...Ellie for short.

My daughters name is Ellen and we call her Ellie. My friends daughter is Isabella and they call her Ella.

My best friend uses the name Ellie as a nn for Evelyn.

there is a nestie with a DD named Ellison - called Ellie.

My DS's middle name is Ellison- after my grandfather... but it seems to be getting more popular for girls- i really like it for a girl with the NN Ellie.

My friend's daughter is Lorielle and they call her Ellie.

We have a Ellie who was named after my aunt Ellen.

smismar · February 2009

The only adult Ellie I know is an Elizabeth.

We are considering Marcella (after my late grandmother) for a girl and using Ella as a nn.

Eloise

I love Gabrielle with the nn Ellie. My bff named her first daughter Ellie (that is her name, not a nn) so I won't be using Ellie as a nn for anything, but if I were I'd use Gabrielle.
