[Opinions] Herron & Ellic
Both are names on my family tree. Herron was my GGG - Grandfather and Ellic was my GG uncle. Herron is a surname. I guess it also could be a form of the Bird Heron. Not sure. I think it's very neat. The only info I could find on Ellic --- internet -- was that it is a short form of Alexander. Makes sense. I alse like that name. WDYT of Herron and Ellic? ETA: Didn't know that Heron was a form of Hero. How would you pronounce it I wonder? HEER on / HAIR in... ?

Herron and Heron makes me think of Heron City, a place here in Stockholm. I prn it something like HEER-on

Herron... when I say it out loud, it comes out like HARE-en. I've known a couple of people with this surname, but never as a first name. It's interesting. I don't think I like it that much, just because it sounds like you're naming a child after a very lanky bird.Ellic is cool and would fit in well among the Elijahs and Alecs of today's kindergartens. The honoring part makes it even better. Very smooth choice; I like it.

I think I'd pronounce both Herron and Heron HAIR-or or HEER-on. I like it, it's unusual. I like Ellic as well, it has a nice sound to it.
