I really love the name [name]Elle[/name].
However, I’m worried it may not be able to hold its own. [name]Will[/name] people think its just a nickname for [name]Eleanor[/name] (or any of the many [name]El[/name]- names) or mistake it for [name]Ella[/name]?
I have a friend who started going by only [name]Elle[/name] in college and it has totally worked for her. I think it can absolutely work well on its own.
I think it can stand on its own, definitely. It’s very pretty, and I much prefer it to [name]Ella[/name], [name]Eleanor[/name], and every other name that begins with [name]El[/name]-.
I love [name]Elle[/name]!! It was my top choice for a loooong time… unfortunately my married name does NOT flow with [name]Elle[/name]. I still love it though.
Yes! [name]Elle[/name] was my top girl name but my husband didn’t like it enough Our daughter is 5 mos old now and I still wish her name was [name]Elle[/name] Oh well.
[name]Rees[/name] Witherspoons character in Legally Blond was named [name]Elle[/name]…and there is supermodel [name]Elle[/name] [name]MacPherson[/name]…so yes I think it can stand alone
**edited to add…I looked it up…Elle MacPhersons birth name is Eleanor but since she uses Elle as her name, it seems to work just fine.
