How do you pronounce Elle?

I’m seeing more and more girls named Elle whose parents insist their name is Ellie. Surely it is always ‘L’??? There’s no ‘i’ to make it Ellie.

Why are people chosing Elle when they want it pronounced Ellie? What am i missing?

I'd pronounce it "L".

You’re missing nothing, people are morons.

Just L like the letter.
