How do you pronounce Elle?

[C0untDucku1a]

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?

Why are people chosing Elle when they want it pronounced Ellie?

Because a lot of people are very stupid.

Elle is sooooo much cooler, just like the magazine, duuuuh.

It’s pronounced like the letter L.

I’m not surprised that there are people are stupid enough to think Elle is pronounced Ellie. It is the sheer number of them thar surprises me.

There's an American craft brand called Elle's Studio. Which is apparently pronounced Ell-Ay's Studio. No, there's no accent. It's just weird and wrong.

Ell. Possible Ell-uh if she's scandi or German, but I'd be assuming Ell unless she was obviously from abroad.

I guess if Elle is pronounced as Ellie then Belle is pronounced as Belly!
