Re: Elise and Elisa
in reply to a message by Murasaki
I prefer Elise- but I am biased :-p Besides the fact it is my name, in general I prefer the simpler versions of names and I often find a's on ends of names superfluous and unnecessarily frilly. This is one of those names to me. Elisa has always seemed kind of trendy to me as well. Elisa, Elyssa, Alyssa, Alisa were all definitely more popular then Elise when I was growing up so I always thought Elise seemed more traditional.
