What do you all think of "Elise" for a girl? x

Pretty name, I like Eliza as well. For some reason I much prefer Elise to Alice although they’re quite similar.

MikeWozniaksMohawk · 09/07/2021 12:26

Really pretty without being overly “frilly”. It was on our list but we had two boys.

ILoveStickers · 09/07/2021 12:26

Lovely, I find it very sophisticated.

My sisters name is Elisse ( she's 31 ) ive always thought it's a beautiful name & she gets lots of compliments. Parents did change original spelling from Elise to Elisse after a month as she kept getting called Elsie!

RuthW · 09/07/2021 12:20

Not keen but it's a perfectly acceptable name

CeeceeBloomingdale · 09/07/2021 12:16

It nice but the one I known is often mistakenly call Elsie

TheVolturi · 09/07/2021 12:15

We have an Elise in the family, love it, but she often gets called Elsie by people reading it wrong!

Pedalpushers · 09/07/2021 12:06

Bad association for me, only ever met one and she was a complete sociopath. It sounds pretty enough though although I'd think more of an older woman when I heard it?

I had three Elises in my year in primary school. One was spelt Elisse though with the two ss. Never since then have I encountered the name on mass just the odd Elise now and then.

Lou2284 · 08/07/2021 22:59

It's lovely, it's my Sister's name and spelt just how you have spelt it

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 08/07/2021 22:53

Pretty name, I picture an elegant French girl when I hear it.

TatianaBis · 08/07/2021 22:27

Pretty

@RestingStitchFace

I really don't like it, which is odd because I like Alice. It just sounds a bit 'made up' to me. But I suppose all names are
Made up or foreign?
Lavender21 · 08/07/2021 20:21

I think it's really pretty. I met one on holiday when I was about ten and really envied her lovely name and I was stuck with a hideously fogey one Envy

Jasharps · 08/07/2021 20:14

Love it! Was my DSis favourite name from childhood and DNiece3 is Elise - beautiful

I like it but I have to look carefully or I just see Elsie. That's down to my eyes though - I don't think many would have that problem.
Beautiful name.

MeadowLines · 08/07/2021 19:32

Its lovely

Justlikethewhitewingeddove · 08/07/2021 19:21

I love it ❤️

Dropdeadfred2 · 08/07/2021 19:19

Its my eldest daughter's middle name...ananagram of Elsie cos that was my grandma's name

MouldyPotato · 08/07/2021 19:11

It's nice, depending on your accent some people might think it's Alice? Or Ellis

Cam2020 · 08/07/2021 19:07

Lovely name.

Also reminds me of the lovely Beethoven piece.

Cookiebox · 08/07/2021 19:01

Gorgeous 💗 my fav name

DeedledeDee · 07/07/2021 00:53

I hate it when people say it like A-Leece - sounds like Police

DeedledeDee · 07/07/2021 00:52

That's my daughter's middle name
Her French cousin is called Elise.
Pronounced A-Leeez
