She seems to have done a merger between Eliza as in Doolittle and Elise as in Beethoven. Actually, I'm not sure if the piano piece is usually given as F"ur Eleeza in the German style or F"ur Eleez in the French. (I always hear it in German in my head, so Elise would sound like Eleeza to me. Depends on what conventions people are used to. But if she wanted a more phonetic spelling, it would do unless her friends all see Elise as Eleez or Elees.)
