XML element creation with colon with out attribute or any other namespaces C#

Question

I need to create xml like below

<author seq="1">
<ce:initials>M.</ce:initials>
<ce:surname>Beyer</ce:surname>
<ce:given-name>Michael</ce:given-name>
<ce:e-address>michael.beyer@uni-rostock.de</ce:e-address>
</author>

for that i used following code

  XNamespace ns = "ce";
        XElement XEinital = new XElement(ns +  "initials",initalarray[1] + ".",
                            new XAttribute(XNamespace.Xmlns + "ce", ns));

but i got out put like following

 <ce:initials xmlns:ce="ce">M.</ce:initials>

but i need only element like below

<ce:initials>M.</ce:initials>

i need to remove attribute? is it possible?
