Both are lovely. Would probably go for Elise to avoid the alliteration but I really like both. Elise sounds very classic and is good for any age. I know there are meant to be tonnes of Ava's out there but I've only met one and I'm in London! In spite of its current popularity I also think Ava is a classic name. Love Amelie also btw Smile.

Are you French?

I personally wouldn't want children with the same initial but if you don't mind then it doesn't matter. Both lovely names with Ava being a bit more popular.

Elise. Ava isn't nearly as good.

I love Elisa too (pronounced like Melissa but without the M).

actually that's Elissa. the pronunciation of Elisa is E-Lisa. like Lisa with an E on the front.

Op both names are gorgeous.

You can pronounce Elise Eleeze or Eleez-uh

I'd go with Eleez-uh and Amelie.

Lovely

Elise! Classic French name that goes perfectly with Amelie. Ava is nice but everywhere. I love Elisa too (pronounced like Melissa without the M).

I'm sorry I think of Lotus Elise, a sports car

Elise definitely. Much prettier and more unusual.

Elise is nice, don't come across it that often where as Ava has been quite popular IMO.

Both go well, I think.

Amelie & Ava is alliterative.

Amelie & Elise has a French feel.

Elise is a very pretty name.
