I like it. It's nicer than Ellie. Smile

I like it, but you've got to have just the right surname to pull it off... Smile

As long as you don't try to make people pronounce it Ellie

I assume pronounced "El" like El Salvador, and not "Ellie"?

It's a nice name. Smile

Yay for people who remember the Elle thread! How are we all saying it??

I assumed it could only be Elle, as in the French word, Elle Macpherson and the magazine...

News to me that it could be Ellie!

I do think you have to have the right surname. But if you do, it's a great name. Elegant and graceful sound; inherently very feminine, but short and not frilly!

But Elle isn't pronounced Ellie
It just isn't
