I’m looking for any thoughts or opinions on [name]Ellington[/name]! I’m not sure if I like it yet.
[name]Ellington[/name] on a boy would be quite handsome. It makes me think of [name]Duke[/name] [name]Ellington[/name], so it has a jazzy, musical feel to it. 
It’s a street in the city that I live, and it’s one that three different, close, families to me have lived on.
So I just think of the street. I find those longer, -ton, names to be rather pretentious seeming as firsts, so I’d rather it in the middle.
I think it’s kind of cool. You could use [name]Duke[/name] or [name]Eli[/name] as nicknames.
Feels pretentious and silly to me, unless it’s a family surname.
