Hey all! So I’m loving the name [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] lately and am wondering what you think of it in general AND if you prefer it on its own versus as a nickname for [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] or [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. (Of course it can be a nickname for tons of other [name_f]El[/name_f] names but I only like [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. So if you had to choose, would you choose [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] on its own, as a nickname for [name_f]Eliana[/name_f], or as a nickname for [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]? Thanks!
That’s a tough one. I love the meaning and sound of both [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and [name_f]Eliana[/name_f]. I’m personally loving [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] right now because of all it’s variants (DD’s mn is [name_f]Elyse[/name_f] - considering [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] for a future daughter) but I know it’s slightly more popular and across more cultures. Whereas you aren’t as likely to meet a ton of [name_f]Eliana[/name_f]’s unless you are apart of a Jewish community.
