How to pronounce Elise?

[Smile2day]

I really like this name but I am unsure how the majority of people would pronounce it. Any other information on the name would be good as well - any positive/ negatives that you can think of. Thanks

I would pronounce it Eh-leese , but Ive been looking up Elise and there are a lot of different opinions . How would you pronounce it?

Thanks for replying. I'm not sure, I started off thinking it was EE-lise but I noticed that some people say Eh-lise or Uh-lise. There seem to be a few different ways and I just wondered which was the most common/ likely way. I like most of the ways I've heard though but if I do call my baby this I don't want to spend years correcting people on the way to say it if I go with a less common way of pronouncing it.

Sorry I didn't notice the other thread Lynds77 - what conclusion did you come to with how to pronounce it?

Leesey - are you glad you're called Elise? Have you had a lot if problems with the pronunciation of your name? Is there anything else I should think about eg strange nicknames or people mistaking your name for something else?! Thanks

I have never heard it pronounced any way other than Eh-lease!

 

[leesey]

I have never heard it pronounced any way other than Eh-lease!

I get eh-leeze and eh-liss and now moreso because DD's name is Alyssa, I get eh-leese-ah quite a lot. But they are mistaken pronunciations rather than alternative ways to say it xx
