Good name, but reminds me of Celery an awful lot.

I really like this name, and at the moment it isn't popular so that's a plus. I also like that it has the nickname Elle. Ellery has a nice feminime sound to it and also looks pretty and girly. I think if you like names such as Bethany, Chloe and Lucy then you'll like Ellery a lot.

Ellery has grown on me. It is a nice sounding name. I am still torn over whether boy or girl usage though. It does sound a bit feminine.

I think Ellery would be a really cool name for girl. I wish it were mine.

I really like this name. It seems quite unique. It rhymes with celery though and that's the first thought that pops into my head. I hate celery so I couldn't use this name. Darn my brain.

I like it. It sounds feminine to me, but I prefer surnames for boys.

My best friend's name is Ellery Grace. I love her name! It's unique, and I think it's VERY pretty and feminine! I've never thought of it sounding like a boy name, I think it's completely feminine. It does sound like Celery, though.

Why does everyone say this is a feminine name, it's my dad's name and it's also my name.

My name is Ellery, and I personally think it is a very nice name. I believe it is a girl's name, not only because I am a girl, but because it is very feminine sounding. It does remind people of Celery, but it doesn't bother me anymore. I like it and am happy that Ellery is my name. I love it, and wouldn't change it for the world.

Ellery definitely doesn't sound like a girls name to me. It's too strong. Also, if you had twin boys, you could name them Ellery and Emmett.

Ellery Mayne is the eponymous character in "Mayne Attraction" by Ann Mauren, a truly awful free book (think 'Twilight' series but far less fun) on the Amazon Kindle.

It sounds too much like Hilary with a dropped H - a far prettier name similar to Ellery is the Welsh Eleri which I find adorable.
