So I’ve fallen in love with the name [name]Elle[/name]! I think it’s so cute, classy and girly! I’m still at odds over whether or not it should be used as a nickname or if it can stand alone as a first name. What are your opinions and what are some middle names you would put with [name]Elle[/name]? I would honestly have no problem using it as a first name, as I’ve heard FAR worse lately! Also my iPhone automatically capitalizes [name]Elle[/name] so that has to count for something, right??
So far for middle names I have:
[name]Elle[/name] [name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Elle[/name] [name]Madelyn[/name]
[name]Elle[/name] [name]Katherine[/name]- probably my fav
[name]Elle[/name] [name]Catherine[/name]
[name]Elle[/name] [name]Vivienne[/name]
Also what are some names that can be shortened to get the nickname [name]Elle[/name]? [name]Noelle[/name], [name]Eleanor[/name], [name]Ellen[/name], etc…
I like [name]Elle[/name]! I like it as a standalone name just as much as a nn, which is rare for me.
I really like [name]Elle[/name] [name]Catherine[/name] and [name]Elle[/name] [name]Caroline[/name]… I really love [name]Elle[/name] [name]Rebecca[/name] and [name]Elle[/name] [name]Francesca[/name], too.
I love [name]Eleanor[/name] to get to [name]Elle[/name], what about:
[name]Elizabeth[/name]/[name]Elisabeth[/name] (also [name]Eliza[/name], [name]Elise[/name], [name]Elisa[/name], [name]Elsa[/name], [name]Elisabetta[/name], etc.)
[name]Isabelle[/name]/a
[name]Arielle[/name]/a
[name]Elena[/name]
[name]Eleni[/name]
[name]Helena[/name]/[name]Helene[/name]
[name]Eloise[/name]
[name]Elina[/name]
[name]Estelle[/name]/[name]Stella[/name]/[name]Estella[/name]/[name]Estrella[/name]
[name]Gabrielle[/name]/a (or just [name]Brielle[/name]/a… way too nicknamey for me, but I know a lot of people like it)
Or, technically, I would think you could use any “L” name, like [name]Lark[/name], [name]Liliana[/name]/[name]Lillian[/name]/[name]Lily[/name], [name]Louisa[/name]/[name]Louise[/name], [name]Luella[/name], [name]Lucille[/name], [name]Lucy[/name], [name]Lucia/name, [name]Lisette[/name], [name]Luna[/name], [name]Lyra[/name], [name]Lila[/name], [name]Lana[/name], [name]Leda[/name], etc., etc.
I really like [name]Elle[/name]! It’s so elegant and svelte. My favorite combo from your list is [name]Elle[/name] [name]Catherine[/name].
[name]Elle[/name] works great on its own, so there’s no reason to find a longer name, but it does work as a nickname for any name that starts with [name]El[/name]- or contains a prominent -el or -elle.
I like [name]Elle[/name]! I used to hate it, but I’ve come around to it. I think [name]Elle[/name] [name]Catherine[/name] is lovely (my preferred spelling is [name]Catharine[/name]), and I love [name]Elle[/name] [name]Caroline[/name], too.
I like [name]Elle[/name] all by itself or used as a nickname. No matter what you decide to do I think it’s a great choice! I have a student named [name]Eloise[/name] who likes to go by [name]El[/name]. Pretty much any [name]El[/name]- name would work, or any -el/-elle names.
I think [name]Elle[/name] should stand alone, but have a longer middle name like [name]Elle[/name] [name]Vivienne[/name] like you put. I like [name]Elle[/name] [name]Guinevere[/name], if you’re taking suggestions!
I studied French for many years and “[name]Elle[/name]” is a pronoun meaning “she” in this language. To me, it’s like calling a child “hey, you”. As a result, I’ve always thought it was strange choice for a first name so I think it’s better as a nickname.
I think [name]Elle[/name] is so elegant and timeless on its own! [name]Elle[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] and [name]Elle[/name] [name]Catherine[/name] are my faves.
I’m not personally fond of it on it’s own. It’s a beautiful name, but I guess it’s just my love of names that says, ‘hey, you could have this gorgeous name and a gorgeous nickname as well!’
Also, it’s one of those names that sounds very chopped to me because it sounds like only a letter. I think I’d be more in favor of it alone if it was [name]Ellie[/name] or [name]Ella[/name].
Nickname only for me - I like one-syllable names, but this one doesn’t pack enough sounds into one syllable to seem right as a full name. Plus, it has no real meaning as a standalone name aside from the meaning in French that’s way too generic. I could be fine with no meaning or a generic meaning if it was longer, but the lack of meaning + shortness/lack of sounds makes it nicknamey to me.
But I like it as a nickname, especially for [name]Estelle[/name]!
OMG [name]Love[/name] love love the name [name]Elle[/name]!! If it didn’t sound totally ridiculous with my last name I would use it!! I love that I don’t hear it often, it’s one syllable and adorable! Please use it since I can’t!
