I much prefer Elise!

Eloise often gets misspelled as Elouise.

Daughters second part of hyphenated name is Elise. Please don't judge the hyphen. I still don't understand it myself.

Eloise

Elise

I like Eloise but find it a mouthful and I know two who both go by Elle.

Elise is nicer imo.

TatianaLarina · 17/08/2018 19:13

Elise is much prettier. Eloise is a bit grim.

Elise

Elise. I really don't like Eloise.

If choosing Elise be prepared for a lifetime of people saying "Elsie" when they read it, and also people saying "Eleeeeze" or "Ahlease" or I've even had "Elisha" (WTF!) people are weird.

I like the name though and it was nice being the only one in a class of Danielle Mc, Danielle C, Danielle D, and Danielle Mac. 😂

Eloise! I like Elise if pronounced with a Z sound (like Louise) but not when it's pronounced with a hard S, which seems to be more popular now.

Elise

carpetlife · 16/08/2018 19:45

Eloise! Beautiful, classic and still pretty original

IVEgotthePOWER · 16/08/2018 19:43

Elise looks like its spelt wrong
Eloise is ok

Love Elodie though

Very good friend’s dd is called Elize. On a rare post baby night out I heard her crying in the toilets. Apparently the sanitary bins are ‘Elize’ Shock
Might be a potential bullying/piss take in later life. Sad though because they’re beautiful names x

Eloise just edges it for me.

DC2018 · 16/08/2018 19:38

Stargirl90 · 16/08/2018 19:16

foobio · 16/08/2018 18:21

Elise

Bellocy · 16/08/2018 18:11

I prefer Eloise. I do like Annalise/Anneliese though, which sort of ends with 'Elise'.

ViserionTheDragon · 16/08/2018 18:08

Elise

thedevilinablackdress · 16/08/2018 18:05

Totally depends on whether you prefer The Cure or The Damned

Both lovely names with excellent songs to match 😀

Meltedicicle · 16/08/2018 18:01

Elise

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 16/08/2018 18:00

Eloise.

triwarrior · 16/08/2018 17:55

Eloise makes me think of a young girl with a drug issue living in a squat. Sorry.

Elise is beautiful!
