Associations - Elise

[cs111]

The name both of us would like to use is Elise. I have read some negative comments and I am uncertain if our positive associations to Elise are completely off the mark.

What is your first thought when you read the name Elise?

What background do you imagine Elise comes from? (E.g. is she middle class, working class, or does she live in a council estate? What do you think about her parents educations and jobs?)

What do you imagine Elise's siblings are called?

Are there any situations where you think the name Elise becomes ridiculous? (E.g. Prime Minister Elise Jones, lawyer Elise Jones.)

Would you judge Elise in a negative way if you saw her name on a CV?

If you are a parent to an Elise, have you / your daughter met any problems because of her name?

If you are a parent to a child with a name deemed "chav", are the reactions different in real life? Have you / your child met any problems because of the name? (You don't have to share the name if you don't want to.)

Thank you

Yes CS I think it's just different parts of the country I'm very far up north if it makes much difference, but also I suppose if the general consensus is it's a nice name then maybe it's popular with the lower class so that the kids aren't associated with it if that makes sense? You'd assume a "porche-bluebelle" to be from a rough background but maybe Elise is a bit popular because their parents want no restrictions for the child due to the name :)

Ah CS111 I see.

Well I think it's a very pretty name. I only have positive associations with it.

Both Elises I know are from well educated, prosperous families but that's irrelevant really.

If you and your DP like it and it goes with your surname go for it.
