Morning all,

I really like both Elsie and Elise as girls names.
Could I please ask for your opinion, which one do you prefer as a name?

(we would pronounce Elise as EL-eese)

Thank you Smile

I prefer Eloise to both.

Elizabeth rocks.

Elsie is sweet
Elise is sleek

Ooh yes Eloise is gorgeous actually and very underused.

Elise definitely.

Elsie is cute, but so many little girls called that now.

Really don't like Elise, is it pronounced like the sports brand? Elsie is a bit boring and meh, I do love Eliza though, not that's a timeless name.

Elsie

I like that it works for a baby right up until you’re an old lady.

I also like the name Eloise which seems to be the best of both worlds!

I like Eloise.

I prefer Elise as a name, but not the way you want to pronounce it. If you want the EL sound I would stick with Elsie. Or you could try Elsa or Ellis?

Ellmau · 16/06/2020 17:30

Oh yes, Eloise is lovely!

Elsie is very popular right now.

Elise was popular when my DD was born in 2001 but not heard of it for a long time.

Personally I'm not keen on any El names, Ella, Ellie, Eliza etc. Just all a bit over used and meh
