Picking a middle name for your baby can cause as much debate as the first name! 

While some families like to choose a middle name that’s connected to a loved one, others look for something that they love the sound of with their favourite first name. 

If you’re on the hunt for middle names for Ellie then I have over 200 great ideas that go beautifully with this sweet girls name. 

What does Ellie mean? 

This cute girls name means light or bright shining one. It was originally a nickname for Ellen or Eleanor however has grown in popularity as a name on its own. 

Because this is a playful and light baby girl name Ellie lends itself well to playful middle names such as Ellie Lola, Ellie Coco and Ellie Poppy. 

The name ends with a “ee” sound but that shouldn’t put you off combining it with other names ending with a -y or -ie. For example Ellie sounds great with Ellie Avery, Ellie Maisy and Ellie Marie. 

Is Ellie a rare name?

The name Ellie is a reasonably little used name in the UK. It was the 67th most used baby names in England and Wales for 2020. 

However Ellie is more popular in the US where it was ranked the 29th most popular girl’s name in 2020.
