I like [name_f]Ellery[/name_f] quite a lot! She feels a lot like [name_f]Everly[/name_f] but a little less trendy. I don’t love that she’s related to [name_f]Hilary[/name_f] (don’t have the best experience with people of that name), but I do love the [name_f]Elle[/name_f] root; I’m a big fan of [name_f]Ella[/name_f] as a nn for [name_f]Ellery[/name_f]. I don’t know that I love that she’s so similar to celery, but maybe that’s why she’s a soft, pastel green in my mind. [name_f]Ellery[/name_f] is girly and sweet and kind. [name_f]Everly[/name_f] is more of a pink for me, feels trendy but I like the sentiment of “ever after” that I get with [name_f]Everly[/name_f]. Feels quite princessy to me for that reason.
[name_f]Emery[/name_f] feels very tomboyish and also very academic, maybe because of [name_m]Emory[/name_m] University? Also makes me think of this very short lived show on CW that was about a girl who fell in love with an alien. I think of deep blues with her.
I would rank them [name_f]Everly[/name_f], then [name_f]Ellery[/name_f], then [name_f]Emery[/name_f], then [name_f]Everleigh[/name_f], then [name_f]Everlee[/name_f] (not a huge fan of the spellings of the last two). I think I like [name_f]Ellery[/name_f] better with [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_f]Holly[/name_f] but I like [name_f]Everly[/name_f] better in general, but I think they all work fine with [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_f]Holly[/name_f].
Good luck!
