I think I'm just irked by the idea that anyone, EVER would call her
Ellie. I suppose it could be established early on- such as calling her
Nora from day one or something- but for the most part, someone would call her that at some point.
The terribly thing about
Alex is that the combination of being pretty popular for both genders makes it hugely popular over all- my friends say that every year at Jew Camp, there are always at least twenty or thirty kids called
Alex.
