Favourite -elle name

I quite like -elle endings with girls names. Though not too keen on Elle or Ella alone. What’re your favourite ones? Do you think -elle names are dated?

The only one I really like is Gabrielle but the nn Gabby is very off putting.

FayCarew · 12/12/2022 12:52

@AdaColeman , has a certain ring to it.

mongoosebaby · 12/12/2022 13:00

Estelle is lovely. I agree with a PP about Jezebel, I love it but...

Christabelle

I love this, although prefer Christabel.

OwlingAround · 12/12/2022 13:03

I prefer Gabriella, but Gabrielle is pretty.

Giselle is nice.

Noelle?

Kalasbyxor · 12/12/2022 13:08

Christabel.

RaRaRaspoutine · 12/12/2022 13:10

I think elle/ella names are pretty. Mariella and Gabriella especially.

Theoldwoman · 12/12/2022 13:18

I love love love Ella!

However Elle names are fine ….

Isabelle
Annabelle
Mirabelle

Tripsabroad · 12/12/2022 14:10

Mirabel was the only one on my list (unless you count Angel, Hazel or Leisl), but I also like Estelle, Isabelle and Mariella.

Beginningless · 12/12/2022 14:13

How about Nell? One of my fave names. Also like Noelle and Estelle.

Pearls1234 · 12/12/2022 14:17

Christ, are some of these comments really necessary? 🙄

Sorry, OP. I like Isabelle and Gabrielle, or something like Eleanor that you could shorten to Elle as a nn.

CakeRattleandRoll · 12/12/2022 14:33

Estelle / Estella are lovely and not dated.
Also like Rachel.

One is a troll who I already reported for making stupid comments on other threads.

LubaLuca · 12/12/2022 14:37

Estelle is pretty and not fussy. I have a friend called Penielle.

Needmorelego · 12/12/2022 14:40

Estelle is a lovely name.
I have always liked the name Isabelle but would probably spell it as Isabel.

AmandaMirandaPanda · 12/12/2022 14:50

I like Mirabelle and Isabelle. Also Arabel, Ariel, Christabel (but I prefer those without the final "le"). And Rafaela, but Raphaëlle is a bit "too much" for me.

I recently met a teenage Raquel - would never have thought of it but it worked surprisingly well.

KirstenBlest · 12/12/2022 16:53

Gwenaëlle

Ijuststoodonlego · 12/12/2022 17:00

Love the name Danielle even if it's described as dated (as is my own name!).

Noelle - beautiful name
Lots of people have said Isabelle, I like that too.
Estelle has to be my favourite.

Orangedaisy · 12/12/2022 17:01

How about just Belle?

Anothernamechange3 · 12/12/2022 17:04

Noelle and Estelle get my vote

Mumofgirls2017 · 12/12/2022 17:04

Annabelle!

MassiveSalad22 · 12/12/2022 17:08

Grabrielle no doubt :) :)

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 12/12/2022 18:36

Lilibelle.
Marabelle.
Isabella
Rosabelle.

Iamclearlyamug · 12/12/2022 18:40

I also like Gabrielle/a but dislike Gabby so would shorten to Bri if needed
