I think Elise is a beautiful name and would quite like to use it, but I'm worried about pronunciation. I like the French "Elize" but I think lots of people would pronounce it "Elice", which doesn't sound as nice to me. Eloise is lovely!

Katharina Elodie is beautiful it's my favourite and on my list (has been for 10 years despite the fact that I am single and no children on the horizon aside fromt he DS I already have Grin)

I have one so I'm obviously biased. Still love the name - I also considered Estelle but DH didn't like it. Other similar ones are Eloise and Elodie for me.

Love it. Makes me think of "Für Elise", beautiful.

I like Elise but not Eliza, too My Fair Lady associated.

also Estelle is a nice name but for me will always be Estelle in Great Expectations who isn't a nice person. What about Estella?

Love it. Obvs 😄

DH had a Lotus Elise years ago. So always has that connection for me, but yes a pretty name in its own right.

Beautiful name.

Alisvolatpropiis · 18/08/2017 00:48
