We have decided on the name Melanie and we don't like the nickname Mel or Mellie. We are thinking Elle as a nickname because all we are doing is dropping the m from Mel and keeping El. Does this make a good nickname for Melanie in your opinion?

I think Elle works great as a nickname for Melanie. Good Luck!

Elle could work, though it isn't the most intuitive. You could also use Lane or Lanie.

Elle or Ella could both work

I think it works. I've known people with some pretty strange nicknames, so I don't think it's too much of a stretch.

Elle or Lanie would be my top choices.
There's also Ella, Anne, Annie or Minnie.

But yes, Elle is a great option!

My daughters name is Melody and I really hated Mel for a nickname! So we went with Ellie.

My friends name is Victoria and goes by Tori, its totally fine to take the nickname from the middle! :)

I first thought of Lanie which is adorable and also like Elle!
