I like Elle but it's definitely a nn to me. You don't have to go with something "heavy" like Eleanor, etc., if that's not your style. There are other options such as Marielle, Gabrielle or any name beginning with El.

I like it. Elle can definitely stand on it's own, it doesn't need a longer name. I think it can work as either a fn or a mn. I like:

---

Elle Rebekah
Elle Sophia
Elle Madeleine
Elle Katherine
Elle Natasha

---

Audrey Elle
Imogen Elle
Phoebe Elle
Candace Elle
Felicity Elle

I think Elle is beautiful on its own, but "Elle" and "Ella" are very popular now so I wouldn't use it.

I know someone who has a daugther simply named Elle, and it is very cute on her.

Beautiful nickname, but I think it needs something to back it up. If you were to use it by itself, I'd say middle name (somehow I can accept nicknames better as middle names: Rae, Jill, Gwyn, etc.).
I think it would be a great nickname for Elaine, Elisabeth, or Eleanor / Elinor, but you could also use it for Elena, Elspeth (though I prefer that as a nickname itself for Elisabeth), Eliana, Eleanora, Elina, Eliora, Elise / Elisa, Ellen, Elissa, Elodia / Elodie, Eloise, Elisha, Elsa / Else, Elysia, or a host of other names.
Hmmm... combo ideas:
Victoria Elle or even Elle Victoria
Hannah Elle
Susannah Elle
Violet Elle
Arianna Elle
Katherine Elle
Constance Elle
Felicity Elle
Judith Elle
Sofia Elle
Rebecca Elle
Miriam Elle
Oriana Elle

it a nn imo as far as a name goes Elaine is my pick.

I prefer it to have it has a nn. I would only use Elle as mn myself.
