I recently met a little girl named Elise, and now, I must admit that I love that name. I just wanted to get other peoples' opinoins on it and hear their thoughts. So, WDYTO Elise? How would you pronounce it (at first glance, not if somebody told you the pronounciation), do you think it would look better with a krey8tive spelling, etc. Personally, I like how Elise looks, and I like the pronounciation i-LEES.

I don't mind the name, but prefer it in the mn position. I pronounce it like L-ees.

I really like this name, it was going to be Skye's middle name but Grant decided he prefer Louise a little more. I say it as eh-lees.

I actually first started loving this name when I played Beethoven's piece Fur Elise. Ever since then it has been at the top of my list.

I love Elise. I pronounce it Ill-eese or uh-leese kind of a combo of the two...lol
I think it is lovely though, I don't like any other spellings of it.

My middle name is Elyse, and I've never been terribly fond of it. Although there's nothing wrong with it, and I wouldn't mind it on someone else. My name is pronounced eh-LEES, and that's how I'd pronounce Elise too.

I like it too, but I think Elise is hard to put a middle name with, so it might be better if Elise was in the middle name position. One of my friend's names was Courtney Elise.

This was my parents' second choice for me. I would have liked it as much as my own name. We pronounce it eh-LEES. I like it, but would use Eliza before it.

I pronounce it El-eese, and I've always loved this name. I picture a pretty, quiet girl who makes quite an impact despite being introverted.
