Jolly Jolly Jessica

When we were little, my mom had songs that she'd sing to my sisters and me in the bathtub. She made the songs up around our names: Silly Silly Sarah, Jolly Jolly Jessica, and Giggly Giggly Grace.

I can't find one for Ellie. Any suggestions?

I subconsiously gave both my daughters 5-lettered names so I could sing B-I-N-G-O to them. Try it.

There was a mom who had a girl
Her name was little Ellie
E-L-L-I-E
E-L-L-I-E
E-L-L-I-E
And Ellie was her name OH!

Or El El El Ellie, beautiful Ellie, you're the only G-G-G-Girl that I adore.

Do I need to come over there and teach you old songs?

I like both of those, and what came to mind was "edible Ellie!" - but that's because I love to eat tose cute babies all up! lol

Elegant Ellie! Hee.

I like Jelly Belly Ellie.

Wow I think mums write the best songs there are. But if you're short a few, try this old book by Beatrice Landeck, Songs to Grow On.
There's a great song in there, Jenny Jenkins - and plenty of them can be changed around.
That Jelly Belly Ellie has a lot of potential!!

Thank you for all the suggestions!

Anne, I was hoping to go more for a character trait than a body part, but Jelly Belly Ellie is certainly cute - even for my tall, thin little girl! (There's no jelly on her belly.)

I like evervescent, but it's not very catchy.
