Totally. I pronounce it eh-LISS-a. There's a girl in Anna's Girl Scout troop with the name. Her family is originally from Puerto Rico so they pronounce it eh-LEES-a. In fact, it took me awhile to realize her name wasn't Elisa! Anyway, I think if you live in a predominantly English-speaking culture, it would likely be pronounced eh-LISS-a.

BTW, I agree with you in that I like Elissa's ancient history too.
