My name :-D
I used to hate it (I think most people go through a phase of not liking their own name though) but now I quite like it. It is an easy name to live with, it has some history, its easily recognisable but not too common...all around, its a pretty good name to have ;) I have considered changing my fn to
Elisabeth and using
Elise as a nn since that is what my Dad would have liked me to have been named but I think it stands alone perfectly well too.
I have known more people with
Elise as a mn than I have known
Elise's as a fn but I don't think it is overly popular in either position. It is definitely no
Marie,
Rose,
Lynn,
Anne or
Grace.
Elise over
Elyse
Elise over
Elsa (but I love
Elsa too, nearly a tie there)
