Pretty. French or German, mainly. Anglo version would be Eliza or another shortening of Elizabeth.

Aylesbury?? Where did that come from? I meant maybe!!

Lalliella · 07/07/2021 00:47

I saw that on the TV yesterday ( Aylesbury you saw it too, I think it was on Wimbledon) and said to DH what a beautiful name it is. Great choice OP.

I love it.
One of my favourite names.

Beautiful. Reminds me of Beethoven and The Cure.

Would make me think if the song tho!

Also, my Czech grandmother was Elisabeth/Elise. So, clearly you’ve picked a winner, OP. Smile

Beautiful as in Fur Elise by Beethoven

DramaAlpaca · 06/07/2021 20:52

I love it.

I also love the spelling Elyse, but that won't be popular on here.

My lovely SIL is Elise, so I adore this name.
There is one Elise in my children’s school and she’s wonderful. It’s such a lovely name.

PurBal · 06/07/2021 20:51

I love it.

ApolloandDaphne · 06/07/2021 20:50

I love it. My DD2 had a friend called Elise who was a very lovely girl.

MonkeyPuddle · 06/07/2021 20:49

I have a cousin with this name, but spelled Elyse.
I think it’s lovely either way.

For a while this was my favourite girl name ever. Really quite unusual where I stay. I’m a teacher and I’ve only ever taught one Elise, who was lovely. I’d say go for it
