Re: Elise
Would that be eLEES or eLEEZ or eLEEZa? I'd associate eLEEZa with Beethoven. South Africans are famously bad at French, so when there's an -s- spelling we say eLEES; this means that people who actually want the -z- have to spell it Elize. There are lots of them here, some with it as their full name and others, more I think, with Elisabeth or Elizabeth as the fn and Elise/Elize as a nn. (So, I was at school with an Elise who was Elisabeth Deborah, and I know an Elize Antoinette.)I quite like it, so it's probably both boring and classic! But I'd only use it as a nn.
