My cousin just had a baby

I didn't even know she was pregnant, but that's okay.
She gave birth to a little girl, and apparently the name is Elle.

In english, this would be an okay name, but since we actually pronounce the e's at the end of the name, I would've preferred the name to be Ella instead, and I'm kind of hoping my dad just wrote a typo when he texted me about it.

They have a 2 year old boy named Even as well, which I guess is the norwegian equivilant of Evan. So, the name fits, although I sincerely hope it's Ella instead of Elle.


WDYT?

I prefer Ella - it's one of my favourite names. I'd then use El (pronounced like Elle) as a nn.

How do you pronounce the E? Does the name sound more like Ellie then?

oh I wish it would. It's more of an eh, just longer. It's kind of hard to explain. Some people say it's like ah at the end, which I guess is kinda similar.

I actually like Elle in Dutch better than Ella in Dutch. Actually, I only like Ella in English because it sort of sounds like Elle in Dutch ;)

I'm not a fan of strong 'ah' sounds at the end of names.

Ella/Elle seems to plain for me. I always think Ella needs something in front of it (Isabella, Mariella)

I actually like both Ella and Elle :)

My cousin is called Elle (pronounced Ellie so I'm not sure why she wasn't just named Ellie but anyway) and I think it's pretty cute :)

I love Elle, but not Ella...but I also love Legally Blonde so that may be why.

i really like elle, but i'm really not a fan of ella. i think that elle is pretty alone, but would rather it as a nickname.

I really like Elle in English but I agree that in Norwegian Ella would be better.
