Okay so this is a bit random but I got curious enough to so some quick research (like 10 mins), and thought I'd just share my findings.
It was bugging me as I was reading that I didn't quite know how to pronounce Ellie. I kept going between the pronunciations of Elly (EL-lee) and Eli (EE-"lie"). Well a quick search brought me to Ellie (ELL-ee); the 'ELL' is the same as in 'sell' and the 'ee' is the same as in 'see'. The name is Greek in origin and the double 'L' is usually the feminine form, 'Elie' is the same pronunciation but masculine. But then none of the names are of the of the norm in this world i.e. Humpty Dumpty, Pain, Brutal, Shell, etc.
See more information than you where expecting nor cared about ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
