- Comments and insights on the name Elke
I am Elke. As a kid, I wasn't crazy about the name (no stickers or mugs), but I have come to love the individuality. My name is a conversation starter; people usually have something positive to say about it. I introduce myself as "EL-kee", but love meeting Europeans who pronounce it correctly (as above). The downside, according to my husband, is that I always have to spell it for people, but it's 4 letters...and I've been doing it all my life so it's really not a big deal to me.
