I love the name Elle; my little brother went to school with a girl named Elle Elizabeth (which I think is really bad BTW). It's short but it's elegant, feminine and has a really refreshing sound.

it means "she" as in "he/she/it", it has nothing of a name for me and it doesn't sound very beautiful. I prefer Ellie or Ella etc.

I really like it. I think it sounds very sweet on a little girl, but also suits a grown woman very nicely. Think of Elle McPherson!

I sort of like it, but I don't think I would personally use it. Maybe for a character.

I prefer the spelling Ellie. I like it better than the trendy Ella.

I like it better than Ella - I think it would age better; Ella might sound a bit cutesy on a grown woman, but Elle would sound great. I like it.

Elle is cute, but Prefer Ella.

I love it, and I don't normally care for short names. For some reason, Elle sounds very sophisticated to me. My only concerns are that some people won't recognize it as a name and will think of the letter L instead. She may also have to spend the rest of her life explaining that Elle isn't short for anything.

I really dislike it. It seems insubstantial to me, sounds like a letter and also is the French word for "she". Oddly enough, I love a ton of El-/Ell- names (Ella, Elspeth, Elsa, Eleanor, etc.), but not Elle.

I'm bugged by the fact that it means "she" in French and is also the name of a women's magazine. However, I guess it could be a cute nn for a name ending in el or elle, such as Gabrielle, etc. Elizabeth and Elinor could also maybe work

At first all I could see was the French word for "she", but it's really been growing on me. The French thing still kind of bothers me, but it's certainly very pretty sounding.
