Ellie is one of the most popular girls' names in the UK--yes, in this nickname form, and this warm and friendly Ellie is also taking off here. In 2011, Ellie entered the Top 100 for the first time.

Ellie has been making many media appearances--she's been seen in the animated film Up, on The West Wing, and even as a woolly mammoth in the film Ice Age: The Meltdown.

One caveat, if you are considering Ellie: Along with all the girls named Ellie and longer forms such as Eleanor and Ella, there are going to be an awful lot of Ellies around in coming years.
