What are your thoughts and opinions - good, bad, indifferent - on the name Ellery?
Would it be mistaken for Hillary? Or celery? Is it hard to say/spell? Does it feel sort of fresh? Open to hearing it all!

I don’t think it’d get mistaken for [name_u]Hillary[/name_u]! And it definitely feels more fresh and trendy to me. [name_f]My[/name_f] biggest issue with it is that I just can’t unhear “celery” 
Yes, I have thought that too…
[name_u]Ellery[/name_u] has been a love for me since I was a kid! I think it has such a fun energy but also could suit any kind of person. I’d love to meet a little [name_u]Ellery[/name_u] someday!
it does remind me of celery but i
a) like celery
b) like the name ellery
so i think it’s great!!
I like it but feel like it might get a bit lost in a world of Ellies and Everlys
I like [name_u]Ellery[/name_u] - cute, surnamey and fresh.
I don’t really think of celery 
I know they rhyme but I don’t super associate them
I can’t not see celery every time I hear this name.
I had a friend named [name_u]Ellery[/name_u] once! I never thought it was close to [name_u]Hilary[/name_u] or celery. Feels distinctive and modern.
i think ellery is a sweet, modern name (it does feel fresh and bright, yes!), and i like it objectively, but it just sounds like an, improvised adjective to me ?? like “do you like it?” “not really, it’s just a bit… eller-y”. for some reason, i don’t have that problem with the spelling ellory, which looks a bit more classic and balanced to me, less like celery, and feels more like a name.
I wouldn’t have thought of celery initially, but after you mentioned it, I couldn’t un-hear it… too bad, as the name [name_u]Ellery[/name_u] itself is quite cute & lively! 
I read a book about a girl named [name_u]Ellery[/name_u] when I was a kid and I’ve loved it ever since! I personally don’t think of celery… Lots of names rhyme with other words and it’s not a problem!
I like [name_u]Ellery[/name_u] but prefer it for a boy.
