I like the name ellie for our little girl, but would like some opinions on it and suggestions for a middle name please! Thank-you
Our last name is [name]Howard[/name]. We were thinking [name]Ellie[/name] [name]Marie[/name] [name]Howard[/name], but tell me what you think
We also liked the same first and middle names for our daughter, but personally, I wanted her to have the option between a cute name and a name suitable for a grown-up.
So, we went with [name]Elyssa[/name] [name]Marie[/name], with the nickname [name]Ellie[/name], and it suits our now 4 year old perfectly!
Good luck with your decision!
It’s a cute name however i am a fan of long names and imo [name]Ellie[/name] is more of a nn but its presonal preference.
I do think its a lovely name but might be baby-ish by the time she’s 30 ?!
Best of luck

I was sort of thinking the same thing. [name]Ellie[/name] would make a gorgeous nn but in my opinion it falls short of being a recommendable full name.
[name]Marie[/name] is lovely too but is one of the most common mns out there for girls so it runs the risk of sounding generic and seeming like a filler.
So, suggestions for names with the nn [name]Ellie[/name]:
[name]Eloise[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Elaine[/name]
[name]Elodie[/name]
[name]Eliana[/name]
[name]Electra[/name]
[name]Elliot/name
[name]Elisha[/name]
[name]Elspeth[/name]
Any of those take your fancy? Good [name]Luck[/name]
[name]Ellie[/name] [name]Catherine[/name]
[name]Ellie[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Ellie[/name] [name]Scarlett[/name]
Eliie [name]Georgiana[/name]
[name]Ellie[/name] [name]Sophia[/name]
[name]Ellie[/name] [name]Harriet[/name]
[name]Ellie[/name] [name]Nerissa[/name]
[name]Ellie[/name] [name]Sabrina[/name]
[name]Ellie[/name] [name]Rebecca[/name]
Interesting post! As it happens my name is …[name]Eleanor[/name] ([name]Ellie[/name]) [name]Marie[/name]. The names obviously go well together however I always wished I had had a ‘cooler’ middle name. I have been known as [name]Ellie[/name] my whole life and distinctly hated [name]Eleanor[/name] up until about 3 years ago. Now I don’t mind people calling me [name]Eleanor[/name] but still prefer [name]Ellie[/name]. If you want to go with just [name]Ellie[/name] I think that is totally fine.
my oldest daughter’s name is [name]Ellie[/name], just [name]Ellie[/name]. She’s [name]Ellie[/name] [name]Sarah[/name] [name]Jane[/name]. [name]Ellie[/name] is such a cute name, not too too popular, but will grow up on her well and is classic. [name]Ellie[/name] [name]Kate[/name] is another we considered.
Thank-you guys for your input!
I am also wondering about the name [name]Gabrielle[/name] ([name]Ellie[/name]) [name]Howard[/name], but can’t think of any good middle names with that. Also, wondering what comes to mind when hearing [name]Gabrielle[/name]?
Also, I do like [name]Ellie[/name] [name]Sofia[/name] [name]Howard[/name]. Is it me, or does the last name really kind of make it hard to pick one

If I had a little [name]Gabrielle[/name], her middle name would be [name]Denise[/name]. I just adore that combination. Also, I like it that you would use “[name]Ellie[/name]” as a nn instead of [name]Gabby[/name]. [name]Just[/name] lovin’ that! Good luck to you. [name]Happy[/name] naming!
[name]Gabrielle[/name] nn [name]Ellie[/name] is wonderful. What about some family names that would work as a middle name?
