So missing-the-mark pretentious. Cringe!

Where do people come up with these? A big library full of Harlequin romance novels? Gack.

Either that, or they're looking at a map with place names.

Oh Jesus why not just name the child Ellie if they like that name and plan to call her that anyway?

Masculine, ugly.

Another random last name as a first name. Unless its a family name, its silly.

You want a classy name for your kid? Go with Caroline, Elizabeth, Katherine, etc. It will age better.

Don't care for it as a name at all unless there was a special family connection.

I'm from Ct too and Ellington hits me just like Bristol does-I'm like, why use those?

+1. Also, I like Ellie, but there are a ton of them under 10. If popularity doesn’t bother you, though, name her Eleanor, Ellen, or Ella and call her Ellie.

Cute, or trying too hard?

Ellingtona would be cute.

And her nickname can be Ellingtonita.

NP, Ellen is on my list bc its a family name and its decidedly not popular (ranked 778 in 2018) compared with those others; Eleanor is 32, Ellie is 37 and Ella is 15. I am torn about naming a girl baby Ellen bc i feel like Ellie nn is inevitable and its not my jam.
