Re: ELISE
in reply to a message by Twilight
I like it. I think it's a bit fresher and less formal than Elisabeth, without being too childish. However, I don't like the way some people pronounce it. I say el-EES, which is quite soft sounding but I know some people who say el-EEZ to rhyme with "sneeze".
The difference between the S and Z sound is very subtle, but for some reason el-EEZ just sounds wrong to me, and loses the soft and classy feel of Elise.
