I really love the name [name]Elysia[/name]. I love its sound, love that its meaning is derived from mythology and means “a dwelling place for happy souls”, and love the nickname [name]Ellie[/name] (even if it is popular!), and love that it isn’t too popular. But… I need a middle name! [name]Elysia[/name] [name]Rose[/name] sounds gorgeous, and how cute is [name]Ellie[/name]-[name]Rose[/name]? But… I sort of want something more unique. Please help!
[name]Ellie[/name]- [name]May[/name]
[name]Ellie[/name]-[name]Jane[/name]
[name]Ellie[/name]-[name]June[/name]
[name]Ellie[/name]- [name]Pearl[/name]
[name]Ellie[/name]-[name]Ray[/name]
[name]Ellie[/name]-sky
Whatever you choose, I think a one syllable middle name would be a great choice
Thanks, Bethyp. I agree that if we hyphenate [name]Ellie[/name]- (middle name) that it must be monosyllabic, and I do like [name]May[/name]/[name]Mae[/name]. [name]Ellie[/name]-[name]Mae[/name] is adorable! But, I want something kind of elegant and sweet as a middle name, even if it doesn’t work as well with [name]Ellie[/name].
I like [name]Clarabelle[/name]- and maybe could even call her [name]Ellie[/name]-[name]Claire[/name]?- but I wonder if people will think of the cow. 
Maybe it doesn’t matter so much in the middle? In a similar vein, I like [name]Margaret[/name] for the middle name, and she could be [name]Elysia[/name] [name]Margaret[/name]/ [name]Ellie[/name]-[name]Mae[/name] that way too.
What about [name]Elysia[/name] [name]Beatrice[/name], nn [name]Ellie[/name]-[name]Bee[/name]? [name]Love[/name] that both names have similar meanings!
When I think of elegant names, I immediately think of [name]Victoria[/name] and [name]Elizabeth[/name], but I don’t think either of those work with [name]Elysia[/name]. So here are some others that you might like.
[name]Elysia[/name] [name]Antoinette[/name]
[name]Elysia[/name] [name]Clementine[/name]
[name]Elysia[/name] [name]Josephine[/name]

Thanks [name]Susan[/name]! I really like [name]Elysia[/name] [name]Brynn[/name]… her dad and I actually met in [name]Bryn[/name] Mawr, PA, so that would be a neat name story. I just wonder if [name]Ellie[/name]-[name]Brynn[/name] sounds cute?
Thoughts on [name]Elysia[/name] [name]Roslyn[/name], nn [name]Ellie[/name] [name]Rose[/name]?
I was going to suggest [name]Elysia[/name] [name]Rosalind[/name]. I like [name]Roslyn[/name]. My daughter was almost named that, but DH and I couldn’t agree on the spelling. I think [name]Rosalind[/name] looks more elegant, but either are nice.

I am not sure whether [name]Ellie[/name]-[name]Brynn[/name] sounds cute or sounds like a very healthy breakfast cereal. You could call her [name]Ellie[/name]-[name]Bee[/name]. [name]Bee[/name] could be a nn for [name]Brynn[/name].

I personally can’t help but feel like anything more than one syllable is quite a mouthful and really a bit too frou-frou. That is, assuming you are pronouncing it “eh-[name]LEE[/name]-zee-ah.” ([name]LOVE[/name] the name by the way!)

I love so many of these suggestions, like [name]Elysia[/name] [name]Fleur[/name] and [name]Elysia[/name] [name]Maude[/name] (I can’t remember the others, because there were so many great ones)! 
I’m sorry for repeats!

[name]Elysia[/name] [name]Rosette[/name] (if [name]Elysia[/name] has an S sound, not a Z sound…I pronounce [name]Rosette[/name] with a Z sound…)
Okay…I just listed to the pronunciation:

After listening to it, [name]Elysia[/name] [name]Delphine[/name] also came to mind.
Good luck!
Nicknames can be more personal and creative, my parents named me [name]Carolina[/name] for my middle name, [name]North[/name] [name]Carolina[/name] being where my mum was born and raised.
Here are some elegant options, all of which can be shortened to childish nicknames:
[name]Elysia[/name] [name]June[/name] ([name]Ellie[/name]-[name]June[/name])
