Favorite "-elle" names?
I never used to like -elle names (thought they were too frilly) but I've met some people with them recently that make them seem more manageable. So, do you like -elle names and if so what are some of your favorites? Any uncommon ones that you don't see very often?

I hate the nns "Elle"/"Ella"/"Belle"/"Bella" but quite like a lot of -elle names, Arielle being my favourite. Michelle is also nice.
Roselle
Brielle is the only one I really like.
I like Miriel. :)
One that caught my eye lately is Mirielle (or Marielle).
Loved this name for over 15 years, and just recently found out that other people know it too. ;)
Happy.

Ooh, I like Galadriel. I'd never use it - to much Lord of the Rings - but it's very pretty.
I used to just love Nichelle and Petronelle.
Michelle is pretty, so is Nelle.

I love Isabel, Annabel, and Mirabel but Isabelle, Annabelle, and Mirabelle are gilding the lily IMO. My favorite name that actually ends in "elle" is Noelle. Gabrielle is nice too.
-elle is not my favorite ending since as you say most of the times it's ugly and unnecessary in the written part, like, i loathe Isabelle but love Isabel- same with lots of -el names. though i do like Noelle and Danielle, in those cases it's used to differ from the male versions (Noel and Daniel). i can't think of any others, really.

I have a friend named Danelle (not Danielle). That's one I've never seen anywhere else.
Also my childhood best friend had the middle name Narelle. I've never heard of that anywhere else either.
I like Joelle and Noelle.

Just added Danelle to my list a couple days ago!
Never heard of Narelle, but I kinda like it.
I know several Joelles.
