Same era, but close to Ellie
These names follow Ellie's curve too, but we left them out above because they share a first letter or an ending with Ellie. Some parents like that echo; if you do, start here.
How these were chosen
Each suggestion's share of US babies has followed a curve close to Ellie's since 1880, and its recent number of babies is within about twelve times Ellie's, so the names are in the same league. Names starting with the same letter as Ellie or with the same ending are left out, so the names go together without matching. Spellings of Ellie itself are excluded.
