Elle'Anne as a name??

SHOPPRINCSS

Elle'Anne as a girl name?? What do you think?? Or Elle Anne, Ellie Ann??? However, but what do you think? It would be the first name, I'm addicted to it...

Unfortunately, that a negative on Elle'Anne for me. I'm not sure I understand the apostrophe, and aside from that, I don't think it flows very well. Elle is a cute nickname, but I personally would not put a nickname on my child's birth certificate. Give her a full name (Eleanor? Ellen?), but call her whatever you want. Give the kid some options.

No.

No.

Just no.

Elle-Anne would be borderline enough, but what the heck is with the apostrophe?!

I think Elle is super trendy.  I would prefer Ellie or Eleanor.

A negative from me as well.  I don't even like the combo w/o the apostrophe.  Eleanor Anne, perhaps.  You could go with Elle for a nn with that if you'd like.  I wouldn't do Ellie on the birth cert, its a nn to me.

DD2 is Eloise Ann and we call her 'Ellie Ann' all the time.    I feel like we have named our daughters after characters from Gone with the Wind- Katie Leigh and Ellie Ann.  LOL!

1. What is the point of the apostrophe?  Either put a space there or a hyphen, but an apostrophe makes no sense.

2. Elle and Anne are fine by themselves but the combination sounds harsh to me and doesn't flow well.

I'm confused about the apostrophe as well.  What is that?  I don't get it.  I'm going to go with as well.

I hate the apostrophe. It's a bit low class, don't you think? ElleAnne or Elle Anne would be best IMO. Ellie is too childish and nicknamey for a first name.

I don't like the random apostrophe. While Elle and Anne are both nice, I would choose one or the other because they don't flow very well together. For me, it's because the vowel sounds run together and they're both 1-syllable.

I'd go with something like Eleanor Anne or Elizabeth Anne.

Isn't this just Ellen with a funny pronunciation and wonky spelling? Even if it's not, everyone will think it is.

Also, apostrophes in names are just a DO NOT to me.

Do you not remember what apostrophes are used for?

Even without the random punctuation, it's not great. The flow is bad and people will probably never understand what she's saying when they hear "My name is Ellann." "What? Ellen?" Ellie Ann is better but who way too country/cutesy for a serious adult.

please do not hyphenate it   It just doesn't look right..  Elle Anne, Elleann, Eleanor, Elaine

I think Elle can be a full name on its own, but Ellie is a nn. I hate the idea of an apostrophe anywhere.

MamaWino

The apostophe is horrible.  Please don't do that to your child.  Even without the apostrophe though, Elle Anne is kinda hard to say.  Like PPs have said, she'll be constantly correcting people for calling her Ellen or Ellann.  I think Elle on it's own is perfectly fine.

I really dislike the apostrophe, like many of these other ladies. Have you considered:

Elaina

Eliana

 or

Eleanor / Eloise /  Elaine / Ellen / Elise Anne

 or even Annaliese

name the kid Ellen. Giving DD1 a beautiful, timeless, classic name and then giving DD2 the name Elle'Anne is just mean.

Ick. Just...ick. . Sorry...it looks made up, and if you say it fast enough, it sounds like something out of the Beverly Hillbillies.

Love Eleanor Anne (could do Ellie as a nn if you wanted).

Ivana_Stolichnaya

Sounds like a funky version of Ellen.  I'm not a fan.

Not a fan. I like Elle and Ann just not the combo.

I think a - would look better than a '
