Comments for ELLE:
Deriving ultimately from Helena, Elle has become an independent form in Estonian. Since there are no such things as silent letters in Estonian, unlike in French it is pronounced "Ell-eh". Both E-s sound the same, like the e in "exit".-- riina 2/18/2005
Elle also means "she" or "her" in French.-- iamkristen 7/8/2005
Elle is also the short form of other names that begin with "El" such as Eleanor.-- SadieMarch 8/15/2005

My cousin's name is Elle, but she pronounces it like Ellie. I think it's a nice, modest name, but I really prefer it as a nickname.-- likeastar 1/19/2006
The name seems a little plain by itself. Mixed with another name would be a different circumstance (example Mary Elle).-- bjd1994rts 1/28/2006
My name is Ellinor and my friends gave me the nickname Elle but it's pronounced EL-uh. That being okay since I live in Sweden but it doesn't sound right in the English language, so I always introduce myself as Elle with the pronunciation EL when I'm out travelling and meeting new people.-- AnonaBee 3/1/2006
My name is Elle but it's pronounced Ellie. The last "e" in my name is actually with an accent but the accent isn't pronounced. It's very weird but I can only thank my parents for giving me an unusual name!-- miss.elle 4/12/2006
This name means SHE in french, it's like calling your kid Him. Please, Elle Woods was cool, but please.-- bellaboo 10/24/2006
I love the name. It's very pretty and simple. It's one of my favorite names.-- candleburn 11/5/2006
I LOVE this name, but if you use it, you would need to add some flair! So, I would use Ella or Ellie instead. :-0-- Taydbug112 11/14/2006
I named my daughter AnnaSophia Mary Elle. She goes by Elle. I was going to have Elle as her first name, but I didn't think it was "whole" enough. It is such a pretty name though so I just couldn't pass it up.-- Anonymous User 12/23/2006
In Gail Carson Levine's book Ella Enchanted, Ella when she travels to a different country is called "Elle" in their language.-- Anonymous User 12/31/2006
I think this name is simple, feminine, and beautiful.-- nothingshortoftragic 12/31/2006
This is my nickname. I'm called Ellie (EL-lee) or Elle (EL-leh). I think it's very cute.-- elliebeth 1/30/2007
I want my people to call me Elle. My name is Elizabeth, so it's fairly boring. I think Elle isn't as common and a cool shortname for Elizabeth.-- Anonymous User 1/3/2008
Elle Driver, a character in Kill Bill, bears this name.-- aquaspirit96 1/11/2008
My name is Ellen, and I often use 'Elle' on the internet.-- eguo0124 2/9/2008
I love this name. Because it's mine! I pronounce it "L". In my actuality it's short for Danielle, but I've been Elle since I was very young. Elle Yeah!-- fancyfeet 4/11/2008
Too minimalist, with a sense of being incomplete. Sounds weird in French-speaking countries and areas, as well as to anyone who can speak the language. The name rather makes me picture a beautiful, rich, yet arrogant young woman.-- slight night shiver 4/22/2008
This strikes me as a rather unusual and slightly interesting name, but one should never use it unless it is short for somebody's full name or something.-- Pippin 7/3/2008
Elle Bishop on Heroes is played by Kristen Bell.-- Veronica_Mignon 11/16/2008
Sounds very strange to anyone who knows French, even someone who's terrible at it like me. Much prefer Ellie.-- MoonAgeDaydreamer 1/16/2009
There was an awesome Alternative Rock band called Elle Milano. Sadly, they broke up in 2008.-- DestructoGirl 7/9/2009
It's cute!-- italiannames 1/3/2010
Cute, but I'd only use it as a nickname because I personally find Elizabeth, Eleanor, Ella, Elena, etc. to be prettier and more mature. Also, as someone who has studied some French, I just could not name my daughter after a pronoun. ("Hello, this is my daughter, Elle, and my son, Il") If you want a cute French name for your girl, there are some much better options that are not lifted straight out of the grammar book.-- Anonymous User 1/7/2010
Can also be pronounced EL-ee. A friend of mine has the given name of Elizabeth Quinn, but goes by Elle. It's like Ellie, without the "i."-- mariej2 4/18/2010
A cute nickname for a more complete-sounding name like Ella or Elly or Elizabeth. Also if someone was name Elle, people would probably have a difficult time pronouncing it.-- Jesussaves7193 6/18/2010
This name is HORRENDOUS as a stand alone name! Too minimalist. It's cute as a nickname for Eleanor or Elizabeth.-- Chrila96 12/14/2010
I love this name, I'm not French so I don't care if it's a word in French. If people are using Belle in the US as a name why not Elle? I think Elle is elegant and pretty.-- Anonymous User 7/30/2011
