Expecting a DD in August Smile DP and I have really struggled to find a name we both like. We've just came across Elise - I love it, he likes it.

Have any of you came across anyone with this name? Know of different spellings for Elise (although I do like this spelling)? What's your first impression of this name?

My friends grand daughter has Elise as middle name. Occasionally people have thought it was a spelling mistake for "Elsie" but other than that I think it's a sweet name.

It's a lovely name! I know a South African Elize but prefer your spelling...

Very pretty. Elise is the usual spelling in the UK and several other countries.

For an amazing variety of other spellings/variants (mostly of related name, Elizabeth) in different countries, see: www.behindthename.com/name/elise

If you like classical music, then there's a bonus: Elise's own special tune, by Beethoven, no less:

My best friend was called Elise when I was at primary school. She is the only one I have ever known. She was lovely, so is the name Smile.
