Elise or Emilia?

Asking for a family member :) Which of these names do you like the most? We were set on Elise but recently Emilia has grown on us because it's such a pretty name. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Elise. Emilia will constantly be confused with Amelia

Alisvolatpropiis · 13/12/2014 11:25

Elise, very pretty and quite unusual.

I have an Elise Smile We're always getting compliments on her name, and have only came across one other Elise in my life.

Both are lovely. I prefer Emilia but the name Amelia is so popular that the prettier Emilia will be assumed to be the same name. Elise has a pleasing sound to it.

Elise, the popularity of Amelia would veto the Emilia for me.

minipie · 13/12/2014 17:22

Elise for me too

Or Eloise if you want a slightly frillier version

Sophronia · 13/12/2014 17:34

Elise. Emilia is too similar to the extremely popular Amelia.

Yzma · 13/12/2014 17:37

Elise, definitely.

Lindy2 · 13/12/2014 17:41

Elise. It is DD1's middle name so I am a bit biased.

I love Emilia, but think that she well spend her life saying 'Emilia with an E'.

Not that keen on Elise as I know a horrible (adult) one. What about Eliza?

HootOnTheBeach · 13/12/2014 17:59

Elise. Are you French or…?

I think it also depends on your accent and where you live. Some accents and places butcher lovely names. My name was certainly abused in east London :(

Tea1Sugar · 13/12/2014 18:31

Emilia though I'm very biased! Wink

CrispyFern · 13/12/2014 19:46

Elise, just because I know two Emilias and three Amelias!

Tweediewalker · 13/12/2014 21:57

Elise. Very pretty!

BlueChampagne · 13/12/2014 23:01

Elise

WhereHas1999DissappearedToo · 13/12/2014 23:58

Elise.

I'm voting Für Elise (see what I did there?!)
