Hello ladies Smile

We think we've narrowed down our choice for our baby girl. However my husband and I can't agree:
He likes Sienna Elise Larson
I like Elise Sienna Larson
Or do we choose Imogen which we both would use as a fist name?

Please be kind, feeling pretty unwell in hospital right now and need something to keep me focused bit hopefully people won't hate our choices xx

All pretty names but Imogen Elise is my favourite! Good Luck!

There was a thread fairly recently about it.
Elise didn't like being called Eleece. It matters if it's your name.

German Elise is more like El-eez-uh, which seems pretty.

I'm pretty sure Elise can be pronounced as either! There is no right or wrong.

MikeUniformMike · 02/05/2020 15:21

Elise will get called Elsie by mistake, and people will say it as Elleece not Eleeze.

Juliaplus4 · 01/05/2020 22:52

I prefer Elise but I don't think the combination flows. Imogen is lovely as well.

Not a fan of Sienna.

geojojo · 01/05/2020 08:24

I'm now thinking of using Imogen if I ever have another girl! Gorgeous name.

babynamelover · 01/05/2020 08:01

I think go with the one you both live rather than compromising :)

Imogen Elise is stunning!

Mumma4262 · 01/05/2020 05:31

I know of a few Imogen’s and Sienna’s. If DS2 was a girl, Elise was one of our top names.

I feel there are less Elise’s around (I could be wrong). I just think it’s beautiful.

NameChange30 · 30/04/2020 20:56

Forget about the combinations for a moment and just think about which name you like best as a first name. That's the name she will use all day every day.

FWIW I think Imogen is lovely and if you and DH both like it equally that would seem a good choice.

I prefer Sienna to Elise, but that doesn't really matter - if you don't like Sienna you shouldn't use it. She's your baby.

I don't mind a non-flowing name, I quite like that there's a subtle "pause" between Elise and Larsen it gives them an air of importance. I think Imogen is my fave of the 3 though. Congrats!Flowers

Needtheadvice · 30/04/2020 19:48

All three names are beautiful but with the last name in place I agree with others that Elise Larson doesn't flow as nicely as Imogen or Sienna.

LotusClover · 30/04/2020 19:43

Sienna Larson is perfect.

I don't like Elise as it's a bit twee and doesn't go with the surname. Imogen is okay but not my taste. Sienna Imogen would be nice.

YinMnBlue · 30/04/2020 19:04

I like Elise a lot.
Elise Imogen Larson works

I like Imogen a bit less than either Elise or Sienna

YinMnBlue · 30/04/2020 19:02

Imogen Elise Larson
Imogen Sienna Larson

YinMnBlue · 30/04/2020 19:01

Sienna Larson flows better and is Easter to say than Elise Larson.

3 names with 's's in is quite a succession of s sounds.

Which name do you actually like best?

She could be called Sienna Larson, but Sienna happens to be her second name.

Elise is still my favourite and glad to see others like it.
Can I ask out of interest why some people don't like Elise as a name?

Are there any other names anyone would like to suggest. Probably won't help us decide Grin

Oh I love the name Elise!

I’d chose that. Hope you’re doing ok in hospital.

peperethecat · 30/04/2020 18:35

Imogen Elise Larson also works well. Think I marginally prefer this.

peperethecat · 30/04/2020 18:34

I prefer Elise as a name but Sienna Elise Larson flows better.

SagaBauer · 30/04/2020 18:33

I don't like the name Elise 🤷🏼‍♀️ but I agree Sienna or Imogen work really well with Larson!

myangelalex · 30/04/2020 18:24

Not Elise with that surname

Sienna Elise is beautiful Smile

bridgetreilly · 30/04/2020 18:01

I was going to say Imogen Elise before I saw your update, OP. Good idea.

Whatsyourflava · 30/04/2020 18:00

Imogen Elise is gorgeous- the best of your options but all are great

Hope you feel better soon
