Is it a girls or boys name to you?....

Sounds like a boys name to me, but guess it could be for either?!
 
I know a girl called Ellis, before i knew her though i think i thought it was a boys name. It suits her though and she is girly x
 
I know 2 boys called Ellis! Never heard of it as a girls name
 
Most ppl that have said its a girls name or know a girl called Ellis r up here in Scotland so my poor boy would probably b the odd one out! We really like it but i would hate for him 2 get picked on if its more a girls name up here. x

I'm in Scotland too and know a little girl called Ellis. I prefer it as a boys name though, I'm sure he wouldn't get picked on hun cause it's not a girly sounding name x
 
Boys name to me......

Author Edith Pargeter used the name Ellis Peters to sound more male to appeal to publishers.
 
Ooh I was going to call my DD Ellis if she were a boy and I still love it now.. Defo boys name. May suggest it again for this one..
 
I've never heard of Ellis as a girl's name before, this thread is a revealation! Definitely a boys name for me!
 
Ellis...

Hmm...

I actually think it says more surname to me than anything.

If i heard someone being called it, i think i'd assume it was a nickname based on their surname.

If i had to choose - i think boy.

I see it as an alternative to Alice, but there would be no need in called a girl Ellis when there is Alice for girls so it would be for a boy... imo :)
 
i would say boy. although again ive only heard it as a surname. xxx
