Elise would be eh-leez :)
You got Maelys right, although there is no huge accent in the end. It's a bit of a stereotype!

I would say the stress depends on the context more than anything... "EH-leez, shut up!", but "eh-lEEZ??? where are you???". lol

Elise with a stress on the El is like saying the name Ellie with an S - the difference between "Ellie's a nickname for Eleanor" and "Elise went to get some milk." They're the same sounds - eh-leez. There's a pretty big difference, but I don't think a French accent allows for it much. Maybe that's the problem.
