Eliza 100%. Not even a competition.

Eloise? Much more elegant and a name in its own right

pabloescobarselasticband · 13/06/2021 08:44

Eliza, Elise is pretty but a bit chavvy common

ofwarren · 13/06/2021 08:35

Hard choice as I like them all.
I would probably choose Elsie though I think.

ILoveStickers · 13/06/2021 08:25

Elise

Or - wildcard - Eilis (ey-lish).

Eliza. Or Elise.

Elisa is a name you'd have to spell out every time. Elsie is nice but mainly for a girl not a woman.

As for names being 'overused', names are popular for a reason! Much better to use a recognisable name than some idiot jumble of letters in the hope that your baby will sound oh so special.

Elise or Elyssa.

Elsie is really dowdy and Eliza is very overused.

NellWilsonsWhiteHair · 13/06/2021 07:56

I like all of them except for Elsie which is a bit too cutesy for my tastes.

I think Eliza is the one least likely to provoke pronunciation confusion (assuming you're in the UK). I don't see that that's necessarily an issue (and DS and I both have names people sometimes trip over), but I know it's a major consideration for some people.

Eliza

coco123456789 · 13/06/2021 07:52

Elisabeth and then they can choose!

Chunkymenrock · 13/06/2021 07:51

But they're all completely different names. Do you genuinely like them all as much as each other? Elise sounds sassy. Elsie is awful, frumpy and an OAP name. Elisa is a lab test and Eliza sounds like a Victorian doll and quite dreary. Elsa is better than all of them. But I prefer Coco or Tamsin!

FortunesFave · 13/06/2021 07:46

Elsie.

Elise just looks like Elsie at first glance and people will not know how to pronounce Elisa....'

Eliza is nice too but I like Elsie better.

Holidayhomeone · 13/06/2021 07:46

All very overused where I live.

flummingbird · 13/06/2021 07:45

Ooh, I had Elise and Eliza on my list. I'd have gone with Eliza if it had been solely my choice...
