My grandsons best friend is called Ellis and he is a boy. annie

I have only known one person with this name....a young girl called Ellis

but I'm sure it's an OK name for either sex.

I think it can be either... I have a friend whose little boy is called Ellis, but I have also seen it in the births column of the local paper as a girls' name.. I don't think it matters, anyway, it's how you feel about it that matters. Tell the people who are arguing with you to mind their own chuffing business.. there are so many busybody know it all's around, aren't there?

Love

ps, when I named my first son, all my hubby's family were aghast, as it was then an old fashioned Welsh name. They came to visit us in Cyprus, and MiL made my life very uncomfortable with her continual comments... you choose your child's name because it is a special name to you.... ignore them, Charlie. xxxxx Daff

Both sexes same meaning; 'my God is the Lord'

its my sons name but everyone and i mean everyone includin oh says its a girls name its so annoying because i thought it was a boys name! xx

Tell the doubters to shut up and heres the proof:

thank you its been doing my head in since he was born gonna print thios off and show it to mil and oh and all other doubters!!!!

I think Ellis is for both actually know one of each ,
I also like Charley, lots of girls called Charlotte use that now, a friend of mine does, My Grandaughter is called Neve, but there are few different ways of spelling that, Other grandaughter is Maisie which is also lovely name.
Dx

my name is charlotte but ive been called charley since i can remember!

Ellis is a boy's name!! A lovely name - would never call a boy Hilary [as in Hilary Benn]

one of my sons is called leigh.
he was often mocked at school because of the way it is spelt as it is usaully spelt that was for a girl lol

i also have a son called jamie,again it is unisex.


ellis is unisex hun so dont worry lol

my cousin is called leigh and he is a boy so i thought it was spelt that way for both!

im so glad ive finally got some bproof that can be used as a boys name! i heard a boy being called it at school when i was 14 and that was it had decided mt first son would have that name and so he did no matter what anyone said!

charley
wait till i tell my son that he is a boy after all pmsl

i have never met another lad with the same spelling as my son but ive heard of an actor(leigh mccloskey) .
all of the lads with the same name round here spell it lee.
my brother liked our spelling so he called his son ashleigh.

by the way i like the name ellis:))

Does it depend how you say it? If you sound it out phonetically, then I have a boy in my class called Ellis.
Ellis(e) Sounded out Eleese, I would say is a girls name. Have quite a few of them in School.

I think Ellis is a lovely name for either sex.

Hi Charley,
my daughter is 29 and her name is Dallas, uni-sex name , her hubbys name is Lee.
I also like the name Ellis
Darlene

if I had to guess,I would say it was a boys name but it would be ok as a girls name too.
It's one of those names that is used both as a first name and a surname like Harrison,Elliot,Jaxon,
etc
I like it and as long as you like it thats all that matters.When I was 14 I heard a lady in a shop talking about her grandaughter Rochelle.I kept that name in mind untill I had my daughter,she's 29 now and there are quite a few Rochelles ,although at the time she was born it was quite unusual.
people used to say ,"you mean Michelle" -NO
or they insisted on calling her Rachel, grrrr
I think sometimes the old name of Elias evolved into Ellis too as it was passed down through the generations

love Bunny xx

my daughter is called rachel (i have a problem with people spelling her name racheal and tellin me my name is wrong in the end i brought my sil the bible and told her to read the bit about rachel in it),

i really like the name rochelle!

xx

hi darlene, i just wondered where you got the name dallas i have never heard it before is a lovely name! x
