I suggest a third possibility, however.
Could Bell be a shortened form of the maiden name of their mother, and more pertinently perhaps their brother? She was famed for her large library, similar to the one Charlotte was familiar with at Ponden Hall near Haworth.
Largely forgotten now, she was a cookery writer and more importantly a poetess of note in the early to mid nineteenth century, and likely to have been read by Anne in the magazines that the sisters enjoyed, passed on from their father. Another possible source of the name is Acton Castle near to Penzance in Cornwall.
It could be that Anne heard her aunt talk of the castle after all, we know that she liked nothing more than talking of her beloved Cornwall , liked the name, and decided to adopt it as a tribute to the land of her maternal forebears. Winifred Gerin is, however, unable to suggest an origin for Ellis Bell, but I believe I have not just one but two possible answers.
Perhaps the young Emily found it hard to say the full name Elizabeth and so used a shortened form — Ellis? This, I think, is the most likely origin of Ellis Bell. Previous owner name to front blank and foxing throughout. The first work in print by the Bronte sisters--Charlotte, Emily and Anne--purposely published under masculine pseudonyms to avoid contemporary prejudices against female authors.
Publication Date: Seller: Joseph J. Felcone Inc. Used - Hardcover. Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell. Philadelphia: Lea and Blanchard, Original brown paper-covered boards, printed paper spine label.
Outer brown paper worn from along hinges and at tips of spine revealing lighter paper underneath, scattered foxing, else a very nice, very tight copy in the fragile original boards. With an ownership signature of A. Trafton on the front endpaper. First American edition of the Bronte sisters' first book. An unusually nice copy, as most surviving copies are in rough condition or have been rebacked. The book's original owner, A. Trafton, was a resident of Alfred, Maine, and the district schoolmaster.
