How Ellis sounds
Two syllables make Ellis compact enough for everyday use but long enough to carry some melody. Ellis ends on a breathy, hissing consonant, which gives it a light, trailing finish. Ellis has the quick, bright rhythm that the sound-element scheme associates with air. Recent U.S. birth records show Ellis rising, so it sounds current without being overused. Ellis is used for girls and boys alike in U.S. birth records.
The Saju view
The first sound is the heaviest in the pronunciation-element system, and for Ellis it is earth, made with an open throat and a soft breath. Ellis is an earth name in the sound-element table, which is why it ranks near the top for charts that lack earth. Because earth feeds metal in the cycle of generation, Ellis can also help a chart that is short on metal, though less directly. A chart that already holds plenty of earth is better served by another name, since Ellis would add to it.

The astrology view
Gemini, Libra and Aquarius share the air element with the sound of Ellis, so a Sun, Moon or rising sign in one of them gives the name its strongest ranking. For earth and water signs, the air sound of Ellis pulls the other way, and the ranking reflects that.
