What do you think of Ellyse?

And do you think Rose would be a nice middle name?

Elise. I wouldn't use any of the other spellings.

Rose is a pretty, but v v boring, middle name.

Elise is OK. Instead of Rose how about Pearl, Wren, Beryl, Blossom, Bluebell, Violet, Iris, Ocean...

So many lovely names and with a middle you can afford to be different.

If you like rose it would be great as a first name

Oriunda · 29/06/2014 06:27

Elise (or even Elisa) is a nice name

badtime · 29/06/2014 01:39

I would pronounce Ellice like Ellis.

SquidgyMaltLoaf · 29/06/2014 00:41

Have also seen Ellice as an alternative spelling if that helps!

Agree with everyone else.

Elise is a lovely name.

Rose is a default middle name, these days.

weatherall · 29/06/2014 00:27

Do you mean Elise?

Please spell it correctly!

Elena and Elissa and Elissia are nice too.

DramaAlpaca · 29/06/2014 00:25

I think it would be better if you stuck with Elise, or Elyse if you must, or you will have problems with people not knowing how to say it.

I also think you might need a longer middle name. Elyse Rose is a bit short & blunt.

Like the name, hate the way you're spelling it. Rose is nice, but every other girl I know has Rose as a middle name.

I also wouldn't know how to pronounce it. I think you'd be forever correcting people.

Bunbaker · 29/06/2014 00:08

I wouldn't know how to pronounce it either. I know an Elise, but think that the double L might change the pronunciation to Ellis.

badtime · 28/06/2014 23:51

I have seen Elyse, a variant spelling of Elise, but I think Ellyse is a bit more unusual.

I would use Elise, which is a lovely name.

I'm not sure how to pronounce it?
