Your name of Ellie gives you independence and determination. You are not sentimental nor idealistic. You experience peace in nature and, through observing nature, can acknowledge the harmony and the harshness of life that applies to nature’s laws of instinct and survival. You have a respect for all living things and could have a keen interest in biology or working with animals. Unfortunately, it is a challenge for you to express tenderness to others. As a result, others finding you to be somewhat severe, aloof, and uncommunicative, withdraw from you. You will not tolerate dominance by others because your freedom means too much to you. You are not easily influenced by the opinions and actions of others and therefore can be depended upon for assistance. You work best where you can combine physical labour with mental activity. Living much within your own thoughts and finding it challenging to communicate easily with others, you are, at times, too candid and honest in your assessment of situations.
