Help[Opinions] Like Elle, but Jayden's horrible (m)
in reply to a message by kitty
Elle sounds sweet but not syrupy, feminine, and isn't overused. It's more popular now, but isn't trendy per se, and I think I will age well.
The only thing is that Elle is properly pronounced EL, not EL-ee. Most people know this, and pronouncing Elle EL-ee will lead to much confusion for your child, I think. Also, imo EL-ee is a little disrespectful to the name's heritage.
However, Jayden is very trendy, very masculine, and is awfully misspelled imo. The trendiness of it will make your child the equivalent of Bertha by the time she's 50. I like Elle pronounced as EL-ee much better than Jayden, even if the pronunciation's wrong.
