What do you think about Elka for a girls name?

Question

Well we have Elk here in montana and I dont like the name because of the Elk part, I just like it because it sounds old and uniqe

Answer 1

No I like Ella better.

Answer 2

Elka is an unusual name, and it is pretty too - both things a good name should possess! However, i do like the name Elka, but i think that Elkie would sound better as it sounds cuter to say, and looks nicer than Elka when written! Hope i helped x x x x x =)

Answer 3

There is a swedish name spelled Elke (elk-ee). I always thought it was different. I believe there was a famous person from a long time ago with that name.

Answer 4

I know an older lady named Elka at my church. I am not a fan of it, it would have to fit the baby.

Answer 5

It's "okay"........ but to me Elk are more masculine, a even with an a on the end- it still seems kind of "hard" for a girl's name.
I'd be more likely to go for "softer" earthy names, like:
Fawn, Fern, Skye, Raven..... all sort of rustic, but more girlie.

Answer 6

Elka is a girl's name in Hebrew . And it means " Oath to God"

Answer 7

It's a little...rustic sounding in my opinion. But in Idaho, elk are something we shoot and eat, so that could be where my reluctance comes from.

Answer 8

Yuck, it sounds like a name of an animal. How about Ella?

Answer 9

i dont know why people have to be rude~but i think its a pretty name and its different. elka marie or Elka ann. hoped i helped.

Answer 10

Oh wow, no. It sounds like road-kill for a girls name! Why not Ela? Ella?

Answer 11

I don't understand how anyone could look into the face of a beautiful newborn baby and actually consider a name of such shockingly horrific proportions.
