Elsie vs Elise

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.

Theforest · 06/06/2020 19:14

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
