I love love love Ellen so it gets my vote. Frances is gorgeous too though. I can see why you are having a hard time. El-names are becoming very common so if that is something you want to avoid, steer clear of Ellen.

Ellen! Beautiful name, I love it.

Answer 9

Ellen...

But play with the spelling of the name to make it look more modern.

Answer 10

I prefer the name Ellen.

It means 'Light' (Danish) and I think it is a very pretty name with a lovely meaning.

I think Frances is quite masculine and a bit old-fashioned, however this is just my personal opinion.

Hope I have helped.

Answer 11

Honestly, neither. But of the two, Ellen is my favorite. What about Ella? Just a suggestion...

Answer 12

Frances. Ellen makes me think of Ellen De Generes the tv show host and she is a L*****n. Nothing against lesbians but a child may be teased in America because of her.

Hope I help :)

Answer 13

Frances is one of those names where I love how it looks, but not how it sounds (Francis, the male version).  It mostly seems very 1800's lady-ish.

Ellen...  It's alright.  It reminds me of Ellen Degeneres.  It's a bit old for a baby perhaps.  I prefer Ella and Ellie.

EDIT: Frances rank #825 in popularity last year.  The many version of Elizabeth, on the other hand, are really popular right now.

Answer 14
