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
Ooh, I like Galadriel. I'd never use it - to much Lord of the Rings - but it's very pretty.
I like Miriel. :)
Brielle is the only one I really like.
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.

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.

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.
