DH is really really picky. I have a son from a previous relationship and his name is [name]Connor[/name]. We already know we are going to name our first boy [name]Emmett[/name]. Girl names have been hard to agree on. The only girl name he has ever suggested was [name]Carley[/name]. Im not a fan. But the other day gave me hope! We were watching a movie and the name [name]Ellie[/name] was in it. For fun I asked him if he liked it and he said yeah its pretty. I was shocked! The only problem is I see [name]Ellie[/name] as a nn not a full name. I don’t like [name]Eleanor[/name] or [name]Ellen[/name] enough to name my daughter either of them. So I thought of [name]Elizabeth[/name]. I have always loved [name]Elizabeth[/name]! but is it a stretch to call her [name]Ellie[/name]? and would people go along with it? or would they just call her [name]Liz[/name] or [name]Lizzie[/name] anways? Any other [name]Ellie[/name] options??
[name]Ellie[/name] can definitely be a nickname for [name]Elizabeth[/name]. And if she’s not an [name]Ellie[/name] there are about a hundred other nicknames to chose from if you use [name]Elizabeth[/name]. [name]Ellie[/name] is a very sweet nickname, but keep in mind that it is incredibly popular, as is the name [name]Ella[/name]. Some other ways to get [name]Ellie[/name]:
[name]Eliana[/name]
[name]Ellery[/name]
[name]Eloise[/name]
[name]Elodie[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name]
[name]Elsa[/name]
[name]Elena[/name]
[name]Helen[/name]/[name]Helena[/name]
Then there are names that end in the “elle” sound:
[name]Isabel[/name]
[name]Gabrielle[/name]
[name]Adele[/name]
[name]Annabel[/name]
[name]Arielle[/name]
[name]Danielle[/name]
[name]Estelle[/name]
[name]Giselle[/name]
[name]Janelle[/name]
[name]Joelle[/name]
[name]Maelle[/name]
[name]Marcella[/name]
[name]Mirabelle[/name]
[name]Michelle[/name]
[name]Noelle[/name]
[name]Stella[/name]
[name]Hope[/name] that helps!
[name]Ellie[/name] is a common nn for [name]Elizabeth[/name], it is not stretch at all.
[name]LOVE[/name] THIS!! my nieces name is Elliette said like [name]Elliot[/name] 
we called her [name]Ellie[/name]!
A name we were considering for our daughter was [name]Elwyn[/name] which means Elf [name]Friend[/name]. It’s maybe a little further out there but so lyrical and pretty.
