Help[Opinions] Re: Ellen
in reply to a message by Cora
I really don't like the popular Ella. All I can think of is elephant when I hear it. But I'm fine with Ellen. The extra syllable kills the elephant association.
Ellen used to be one of my favorite names when I was about twelve. It's no longer one of my favorites, but I still think it's nice. I don't think it's trendish at all. If anything, it seems a little post World War II-ish to me. It works well as either a first or a middle name.

I get the elephant thing with Ella, too. And even more so with Elly.
Ellen is a name I can see on someone any age, which is one of the reasons I like it.
