It's more awkward to say because it's "ell-ell-emm" not "el-em-ent". It's like that middle part of the alphabet that kids always fuck up "ell emm enn" and it's practically a tongue twister. It's a very unusual mouth movement for English speakers. Which is why many people started calling them "llamas" because the longer word is actually easier to say.
