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?

I love Danielle. I also love Danni as a shortening.

also- mirabelle is pretty!

BrutusMcDogface · 12/12/2022 18:50

Isabelle is lovely but so, so common at the moment if that puts you off.

Isabelle and Danielle are my personal favourites.

I also like Arabelle or Annabel.

Agree that the French -elle endings look naff outside of France.

Stick with the English -el ending

Annabelle, Isabelle.

I really love the names Gabrielle and Danielle. I have friends with both these names and they are always being called Gabriel and Daniel.

Isabelle, Annabelle etc probably safer.

-elle is downmarket compared to -ella.

See Danielle/Daniella; Gabrielle/Gabriella.

Purplemagnolias · 14/12/2022 08:05

Isabelle, Annabelle etc probably safer.

Noooo Isabel and Annabel are much more classy.

Jamesandthegiantpeach74 · 14/12/2022 22:17

I prefer bella endings. Arabella, isabella, Gabriella

ReluctantLondoners · 14/12/2022 22:19

I love Annabel, Isobel, & Gabrielle/a.

rosemarysalter · 14/12/2022 22:21

Gabrielle/a was on my shortlist

rosemarysalter · 14/12/2022 22:25

I know somebody in London w a
Kid called Elle but she cannot pronounce the LL sound. She says Ewwwwwwl

Sounds awful.

Luredbyapomegranate · 15/12/2022 20:21

In a English I think you are usually better with a single I at the end - Isabel rather than Isabelle

I don’t think they are dated especially but there are a lot of them about. Maybe Christabel?

CrispyEgg · 15/12/2022 20:24

Villanelle and Elle O Elle.
