Patrick and Ellany

Patrick


-meaning: noble
-origin: English
-potential nicknames: Pat, Rick
 
I honestly can't explain to you what it is about this name that I like so much.  I just do!  It is very reminiscent of Ireland, most obviously because of Saint Patrick's Day.  It's a classic name that has a lot of charm, and as a bonus, it isn't very popular.  It is #127 in the United States, and #19 in Ireland, have to love that :).
 
Ellany


-meaning: black (Melanie without the M)
-origin: Greek
-potential nickname: Ella, Elle
 
I love pretty much any name with Ella in it and this is no exception.  I also like the name Melaine, but Ellany is a little less expected.  It is not in the top 1000 in the US and there probably is only a small number of children who have this name.  Like less than 100 for the past few years.  The closest name I've found to Ellany on a baby name website is Elani.  Not quite the same, but close.  Ellany would certainly be one of a kind!
