What do you all think of "Elise" for a girl? x

For a while this was my favourite girl name ever. Really quite unusual where I stay. I’m a teacher and I’ve only ever taught one Elise, who was lovely. I’d say go for it

MonkeyPuddle · 06/07/2021 20:49

I have a cousin with this name, but spelled Elyse.
I think it’s lovely either way.

ApolloandDaphne · 06/07/2021 20:50

I love it. My DD2 had a friend called Elise who was a very lovely girl.

PurBal · 06/07/2021 20:51

I love it.

My lovely SIL is Elise, so I adore this name.
There is one Elise in my children’s school and she’s wonderful. It’s such a lovely name.

DramaAlpaca · 06/07/2021 20:52

I love it.

I also love the spelling Elyse, but that won't be popular on here.

Beautiful as in Fur Elise by Beethoven

TheVanguardSix · 06/07/2021 20:54

Also, my Czech grandmother was Elisabeth/Elise. So, clearly you’ve picked a winner, OP. Smile

Love it

Would make me think if the song tho!

Phantasmo · 06/07/2021 21:32

Beautiful. Reminds me of Beethoven and The Cure.

Chachachawoo · 06/07/2021 22:31

I love it.
One of my favourite names.

Lalliella · 07/07/2021 00:47

I saw that on the TV yesterday ( Aylesbury you saw it too, I think it was on Wimbledon) and said to DH what a beautiful name it is. Great choice OP.

Lalliella · 07/07/2021 00:48

Aylesbury?? Where did that come from? I meant maybe!!

Benvolio · 07/07/2021 00:51

Pretty. French or German, mainly. Anglo version would be Eliza or another shortening of Elizabeth.

DeedledeDee · 07/07/2021 00:52

That's my daughter's middle name
Her French cousin is called Elise.
Pronounced A-Leeez

DeedledeDee · 07/07/2021 00:53

I hate it when people say it like A-Leece - sounds like Police

Cookiebox · 08/07/2021 19:01

Gorgeous 💗 my fav name

Cam2020 · 08/07/2021 19:07

Lovely name.

Also reminds me of the lovely Beethoven piece.

MouldyPotato · 08/07/2021 19:11

It's nice, depending on your accent some people might think it's Alice? Or Ellis

Dropdeadfred2 · 08/07/2021 19:19

Its my eldest daughter's middle name...ananagram of Elsie cos that was my grandma's name

Justlikethewhitewingeddove · 08/07/2021 19:21

I love it ❤️

MeadowLines · 08/07/2021 19:32

Its lovely

Junipersky · 08/07/2021 19:55

I like it but I have to look carefully or I just see Elsie. That's down to my eyes though - I don't think many would have that problem.
Beautiful name.

RestingStitchFace · 08/07/2021 20:10

I really don't like it, which is odd because I like Alice. It just sounds a bit 'made up' to me. But I suppose all names are

Jasharps · 08/07/2021 20:14

Love it! Was my DSis favourite name from childhood and DNiece3 is Elise - beautiful
