Elke for girl

[Mcakes]

What do you think of Elke (pronounced Elkeh) for a girl?
Am considering it because my partner has German heritage and I have Danish and Elke comes from the border region between the 2 countries.
Having read the current Anaïs thread am wondering if it would cause confusion over pronunciation?

I am German and I would not use it. it is, as PP said, a middled aged lady name over there. The youngest Elke I know is 50. And it is ages away from a renaissance.

It is not pronounced Elk.eh but rather Elk.e (with a very short 'e' sound). it sounds harsh and will be one of the names which is hard to get really right for English speakers. You will only ever get a got approximation. I'd go back to the drawing board.

I’ve never heard of this name before but have just added it to my list
People prounce my name wrong a lot. It has never bothered me, and my friends and family are the only ones who I’d really care about getting it wrong (and they don’t, obviously)
