Ellie/Elly on its own?

What do you think of Ellie/Elly by itself, not short for anything else?

I dislike them as names or nicknames, so I’d be disappointed to be named them.

I think it definitely works! Ellie is really cute, but I could still see it working on a grown up! I would not personally use it, but that is just because I’ve known so many girls name Ellie.

I think it works. I’ve met a couple of just Ellies

I like it - I have a (college aged) friend who is “just Ellie” and it works well for her.

It’s okay! I wouldn’t blink an eye at the full name just being [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]. But I do think I’d personally prefer something like [name_f]Elle[/name_f].

I wouldn’t be surprised at all to meet an [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] who was “just Ellie” without a longer name! [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] is sweet and bright. I like the [name_f]Elly[/name_f] spelling too but it feels more nickname-y to me.

Definitely works. I prefer a longer name attached generally, but I figure if you’re exclusively going to ca her [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], it makes perfect sense to just name her that! [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] is pretty substantial in terms of nickname-names.

I know tonnes of just Ellies and they all seem to get by just fine! [name_f]Elly[/name_f] for some reason doesnt look like a name to me, i would stick with [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]

[name_f]Ellie[/name_f] works just fine on its own, it’s pretty common where I live (Canada)! It’s a lovely name, I’d consider it if there wasn’t already one in my family :sweat_smile:

I wonder how easy it could be to become
Annoyed at having to tell people it’s not short for anything. I could see that conversation happening often.

I like [name_f]Elly[/name_f] by itself, I think it’s silly to give your kid a particular name if you’re just going to call them something else 100% of the time.

13

I think you could but I personally prefer it as a nickname for [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] or [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] :bouquet:

I think it definitely works on its own especially if you don’t like [name_f]Ella[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], Elena,Eliza, [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Elianna[/name_f], [name_f]Elana[/name_f], [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] etc… or if you are only going to call her [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]. I have met several people who go solely by [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] (I’m not sure if they have a full name for it or not) so I think [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] is established enough to be a standalone name.

I like the name Ellie/Elly by its its self
