What do you think of Elle? Pronounced like the letter L. I used to dislike it because it reminded me of the French word but now I think it's very elegant. WDYT? do you like it on its own? and wdyt of Elinor nn Elle?

what about Emme? pronounced like the letter M

Do you see them getting common?

One syllable names are tough for me. Most of the time I think they are bland, and Elle is no exception. Elle seems more substantial than Ella, but not as substantial as Ellen, Elinor or Eleanor.

The few one syllable names I do like, I find particularly striking, like Noor. Noor would be a good nickname for Elinor.

I think Elle is better as a nickname. I'm not fond of the name Elinor but I do think Elle would be a good nickname for it. Much better than Ellie or Nora. Emme is nice as a nickname for Emily or Emma. I don't not think it should be a stand alone name.

I do see these two names getting common

I much prefer Ella (because that's my name). Elle is not bad, but just boring. It's grown on me a bit since it was used in my favourite series, but I don't ever see it becoming popular. It's just not something that seems in right now.

I like Emme even less. It also reminds me of Eminem.
