You would think it would be more popular going by the sound alone. It begins with "EL" seen in Eliana, Eleanor, Ella, etc., and the "LEN" ending seen in Madelyn, Evelyn, etc. Ellen was in the top 200 for 116 years until it slid down the list beginning in 1997.
My name is Ellen Elizabeth. I like my name - it's recognizable, easy to spell, uncomplicated, and I've only run into a handful.
