Elle

Just curious. How would you pronounce Elle?

I thought Elle was pn like Elle Macpherson. Elle.

However apparently some people pn it Ellie, to ryhme with Nellie, but still spell it Elle.

How do you pn it? Elle or Ellie.

Elle and Ellie are different names! If there is no i then it is Elle pronounced as you said.

That's what I thought, but I know someone who has called their LG Elle, but said they are pn it Ellie.

It just makes me think of this

Elle is a lovely name

Yes as in the supermodel

Elle as in supermodel.
Ellie is the spelling of Ellie

I also think Elle is a lovely name. They are definitely pn it Ellie though.

I’d pronounce it “El”.

Ellie is a completely different name.

She’s probably going to end up with her name constantly being both spelt & pronounced incorrectly correctly

I know. I imagine it will be very frustrating.

pn it elle, my names ellie and and i’ve had people spell it elle

I would absolutely pronounce it with one syllable: Elle, like the letter l.

BUT there is an American craft company calle Elle Designs and that is always pronounced Ellay, as though there were an accent on the second e, but there isn't.

I've never heard anyone pronounce it Ellie. That's ridiculous.

Elle, I would assume one syllable.

God I hate people who can't spell and then inflict it on their kids.

I knew a Cassie once who's parents insisted it was pronounced Casey (Kay-See). No, you've put a double s in there, it's pronounced to rhyme with Lassie.

Clearly Elle is not pronounced Ellie!

I know someone who has called their LG Elle, but said they are pn it Ellie

They are ridiculous.

I know an Elle but she often has it pronounced 'Ellie'. I think some people think they have to say the last 'e'.

They're actually really nice people, but the way they are pn is really silly, because as a pp pointed out, little Elle is in for a lifetime of mispelling and mispronouncing.

@diddlediddle Funnily enough, I knew a Casey who insisted it was pronounced Cassie!

I know an Elle pronounced Ellie.
But it's not right.

@sweetsaltypopcorn AAARGH!

Maybe I will call my child Anna and insist it is pronounced Clementine

I have a friend in her 30s called Elaine and she's always been Elle for short as in Elle McPherson, I like it!

Depends on the language:

In French Elle is a pronoun pronounced El.

In German Elle is a unit of measurement pronounced El-leh (the leh is a short eh sound)

In English it doesn't exist as a word or name, so open to interpretation!

I love the name Elle! Would pronounce it "El" definitely.
