Elle sounds good for a girl. Sutton sounds more like a boy to me.

Sutton is a much better choice! Elle is too close to Ellie, which makes it an overused name....
Ignore all the people going on how the name Sutton sounds like a "boy" name... there's nothing wrong with it! And to the people mentioning there's no obvious nickname - that's the idea.... What's the point of giving your child a name to just shorten it to another name anyway????

Elle is pretty, though perhaps a bit brief. Would you consider using it as a nickname for:
Elisabeth
Eleanor
Elspeth
Ellery
Elise
Elaine
Elodie
Sutton is tricky, because there's no obvious nickname. Emerson, Addison, Avery - a lot of those surname names work *so* well for girls because they're close to familiar, feminine names - Emma, Addie, Ava. Sutton doesn't have that advantage. Sinclar or Sheridan, however, do.
If Sutton has family or personal importance, I'd use it as a middle name. Eleanor Sutton, nicknamed Elle, is a gorgeous name.

Although I like Sutton, people are going to assume it's a boy at first glance. I'd definitely pick a girly middle name if you use it.
Elle is good too!

Elle, sounds like Spanish for the. Sutton rhymes with mutton and the kid will have to live with it all through school. I'm old fashioned and think you should go back to the drawing board and look for something that has less of a cutesy factor.

Well, Elle is great, but Sutton is too cold sounding and too much like a last name. Maybe for a boy, but not for a girl.
Besides Elle, there's many great names like:
Brielle
Brynne
Giselle
Ariane
Analisa
Lilly
Jillian
Laurel
Shannon
Good luck!

Sutton sounds like a boy's name. Elle is nice for a girl. Ella is cute, too.

Shortly after we named our daughter Sutton Elizabeth, another family named their daughter Sutton Ashley.
