I've really been liking Ellis lately myself and have been thinking how well it would fit on a boy today. I cound Ellis amoung a group of names I always used to think of as old-man sounding (like Owen, Otto, Henry, Harry, Leo, Miles, Job, Abel) and are now gaining a youthful sound to me.
So I really think Ellis would deffinately work for a little boy now, either as a fn or a mn it's very cute, but with a spunky masculine edge. Also it's marvelous that you could use Ellis to honor a son's grandmothers, I think that it would already honor Elsie but to also have that -lis- from Phyllis, to so clearly honor both mothers by using the first letters of the one and the last letters of the other without having to switch any letters is so wonderful! I think you should deffinately use it! :)
