What are your thoughts on [name]Ellery[/name]?
Thanks!
This might be a personal problem ;), but when I hear “[name]Ellery[/name]” I immediately think of celery.
My thoughts exactly.
Too surnamey.
I prefer [name]Emery[/name] or [name]Elodie[/name] 
Ditto for me. It seems masculine.
I like some similar sounding names though. Such as [name]Emery[/name] for a boy or [name]Everly[/name] and [name]Hilary[/name] for a girl.
I personally love it.
It sounds kind of masculine to me - possibly the similarity to [name]Emery[/name]? An Italian version of [name]Hilary[/name] which I have just discovered (not really a fan of [name]Hilary[/name] too much myself) is [name]Ilaria[/name]. [name]Just[/name] beautiful, in my opinion, and doesn’t scream “Italian!” at you, I don’t really think. Good luck!
I despise all these surnamey names on girls. It is one I dislike far less than say [name]Emory[/name] (yuck). If you have a gorgeous name like [name]Lucia[/name] to match to, I would keep looking for something far more feminine.
I, too, really dislike the surnames for girls and this one is no different. Plus, it does sound like celery to me, lol. [name]Elodie[/name] is a great alternative, as is [name]Ilaria[/name].
I like it a lot. I think it’s a refreshing variation to all the [name]Elle[/name] names. I also like [name]Emery[/name].
I really dislike it. It doesn’t sound like a name. I also think of celery. [name]How[/name] about [name]Melody[/name], [name]Hilary[/name], [name]Elodie[/name] or [name]Bellamy[/name]?
It seems very masculine to me and it really makes me think of celery as well! There are so many better [name]El[/name]- names out there!
I do think of Celery. But my name is [name]Hilary[/name], so I also kind of think of my name too. If you love it, go with it!
I know an [name]Ellery[/name] who is college-aged; she wears it well. I personally prefer more feminine names, but I don’t mind surnames on girls and I think [name]Ellery[/name] works well (love nn [name]Elle[/name]). That said, she’ll be an [name]Elle[/name]/[name]Ellie[/name] with all the other little [name]Ella[/name]/[name]Elyse[/name]/[name]Elena[/name]/[name]El[/name]…names.
I want to like it, but all I hear is celery!
This was one of my friends middle names when i was younger. HIS name was [name]Benjamin[/name] [name]Ellery[/name]. lol So for me, it is all boy.
I like it but I like [name]Emery[/name] better!
I love it but DH just thinks Celery. Maybe as a middle name?
I like it a lot. Have never thought of celery! There is an [name]Ellery[/name] [name]Street[/name] near me and I’ve always thought it would make a great name for a girl. Never known one…
