Eloise is one of my favourites right now. What are your opinions on this name? How do you pronounce it? I put the emphasis on the end (El-o-EEZ) but I have also heard it said EL-o-eez and El-o-EES. Any MN combos?

There's a terrible song that's played at least once a day on the radio station I listen to, called 'Eloise'. I hate the song, and now the name because of it

I like Louise though, and I think Héloïse looks pretty written down, even though it sounds the same

Dear Eloise, I am writing to say ... ?

Luckily I liked the name before I heard a musical rendition!

I really like Eloise, mainly as a middle name. It goes with almost anything!

EL-o-eez where I live.

I've always been attracted to Eloise Vickie Esme. It gives initials that have family significance, and Vickie (not Victoria) and Esme have family significance too; plus, I like the sound and the rhythm and the look.

Eloise is so light and airy I feel like it needs to be paired with hard sounds

It's starting to grow on me lately. My favorite pronunciation is e-lo-EEZ. I like the meaning helios "sun" association with it, even if it's not technically etymologically connected to it.

I like it. I've only met one, so it makes me think of her. She'd be in her late 30s now, and she was Welsh.

I pronounce it kind of like eh-lo-EES or el-o-EEZ.

I had a patient named Eloise, sweet old lady. We tended to really pronounce it like yellow (without the y), so, like yellow ease.
