Wdyt? Could it could work for a girl?

[Hey There]

I prefer Ellis nn Elle on a girl but I think Ellison would work. Similiar to Allison, only with an 'E'.

I like Ellison, but I think it should stick with boy.

I think it's rather feminine for a boy's name - probably because it's so similar to Allison. I think it would work on a girl, especially these days with the "son" surname trend going on.

Though nms, I think Ellison could easily work as a girls name.

I like it for a girl with a nn of Ellie.

Any name ending in -son should be strictly a boy name. The root makes it mean "son of.." So I don't like it for a girl. Ella or Ellie are cute names that are similar.

I think Alison/Allison works better for a girl - probably only because all the girls I know by that name ARE spelt with an A...

Same

I don't think it works as a first name at all. It's just a surname to me.

Allison is a much better girls' name.

I think it could work because like others said its so similar to Allison... plus the -son trend on girls helps.

My grandmother loved the name Ellison for a boy or a girl ~ my cousin named her first daughter Ellyson Yvonne (after my grandmother) her NN Elly ~ she'll be 7 in November!

I don't care for it.

I agree. Most - son names make me think boy.
That being said, I also think the Elli- part of the name make it sound too feminine. So overall, not a big fan.
