Which name do you prefer and why?

Eliza unless your family speak French! To my ear, Elise sounds lovely said in a French accent but not so much with the heavy English stress on the 2nd syllable.

100% Eliza; traditional with a classic strength. I’m slightly biased because I know an Eliza who’s an absolutely lovely individual. Elise will come and go in my opinion but Eliza will remain a beautiful and popular name.

Eliza, because it sounds stronger. Elise is too soft for my taste.

Eliza. It was on my list for dd but DP vetoed it 😒 I love it.

Like both! But vote for Elise

Definitely Elise. Much nicer sound, Eliza sounds too harsh.
