Mario Batali: Like the magazine? French?
Pregnant Lady: Oh, I guess. Really?
Mario Batali: Yes, Elle. You're naming your child a French pronoun.
Pregnant Lady: Oh...
It had me laughing out loud, slapping my hands walrus-style that a woman is naming her child a French pronoun that simply means "She" - and she didn't even know it. But she was so excited and had the name picked out and everything. In the age of the internet, there is no excuse.
Oh good for you. Laughing at people because they don't speak french. Maybe she was thinking Elle McPherson or Elle Woods. What an ass.
1) quote fail
2) I'm not making fun of someone not speaking French. I'm making fun of someone who picks out a name, and doesn't even do a quick Google search to know what they're naming their child. And it was hilarious! I love Batali!
I think Elle's popularity had nothing to do with the French word and everything to do with the fact that it has been its own name for generations. Also it was a nickname for a lot of "elle" names - Gabrielle, etc.
I don't think he's silly for not considering that it is a pronoun in another language.

Payne. Family name, but still. Why would you name a kid pain?

I'm with you that she should've known better but, in her defense, there is Elle McPherson, so it has been used as a proper name before!

I actually met a Nevaeh last week. I'd heard about them, but had never actually met one.
