Help[Opinions] Re: Elery (m)
in reply to a message by hyacinthus
I don't think it's too soft for a boy, though it is much softer-sounding than Elliott. I do prefer the Ellery spelling. It just looks right to me and losing the one "l" does make it more similar to "celery". Ellery never made me think of celery at all, by the way, until you brought it up.
ETA: I also have always liked Riley for a boy and Ellery really doesn't feel much softer to me than Riley. Can't understand why anyone would put Elliott or Riley on a girl.
ETA again: Don't know why I didn't think of Ellis while I was typing. I find Ellis quite charming and, again, not too soft for a boy and far too masculine for a girl.
