Question: Can Ellis be a little girls name!? Any ideas for middle names!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
It can; you can saddle any child, male or female, with a family surname!. If you do, you are dooming her to a lifetime of being recorded as "Alice" by mistake, and of people who see just her name in a signature or directory assuming she is a man!. Her classmates will call her "Island", after "Ellis Island!."

The common place to throw a maiden name is the middle name; "John Morgan Smith" or "George Walker Bush"!.

Emily Ellis or Mary Ellis or Jennifer Ellis would all work, to my admittedly tone-deaf ear!.

Life is sometimes like a hike where you have to carry a sack of rocks!. Some people throw away as many as they can!. When I was in college I bought 14 pairs of white socks, so I would never have to spend more than 8 seconds looking for a match!. I wasn't particularly stylish!. A fellow in my co-op had argyle socks!. He was stylish, but he had to spend 5 - 10 minutes matching them every time he did laundry!.

Giving a little girl the name "Ellis" as a first name is putting an extra rock in her sack, so to speak; one more minor hurdle, one more thing to slow her down!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
