Elly is my grandmother’s name, short for Elizabeth. I knew another, also elderly, woman named Elly and in a way she had similarities with my grandmother. Despite their name (which I think is cute, but maybe a bit silly) both women where strong, had a great sense of humour and loved their family and nature. For me, Elly/Ellie on its own is too cutesy and unfinished. I think she needs a longer former name to fall back on.
