I really like Elisa. It's a lot more interesting than Lisa, and a bit more substantial than Elise (though Elise is absolutely great too and I guess I even prefer it to Elisa because of how subtle it is). I am a big fan of Eliza, however I much prefer the Polish pronunciation of it (eh-LEE-zah) compared to e-LIE-zuh, and so while I prefer Eliza to Elisa in terms of how they look, I guess, at least in English, I prefer Elisa in terms of pronunciation. There is something slightly mysterious about the name Elisa, I think. And it is very elegant. I think it would make a very original, fresh and a bit surprising nickname to Elizabeth.
Hey! I have this name and I pronounce it like EE-LEE-ZA. It's really cool seeing that lots of others have this name, I always get called Eliza, Alyssa or Elisa (with an 's' sound) but I don't correct people because my name is tricky and they are close enough lol :) This name is really not common but whenever I see usernames with this name it really makes my day :D anywayyyy~ shoutout to my fellow Elisa's! (you guys are cool by default I don't make the rules.)
My name is Elise and some people seemed to think that my name was Elisa growing up. Even though I like both Elise and Elisa, I think more people should know the difference.
My cousin is called Elisa. The name is very pretty. The meaning is God's vow. It is pronounced Lisa with an E in front. I love my lovely cousin and her pretty name.
I prefer this name to Elise. Pronounced el-EE-sa, I think it is a pretty name, and I find it strange that I dislike the name Lisa when I like this name. This would be a good nickname for Elizabeth, more original than Liz or Beth.
I think the name's very pretty, I like it much better than like Alicia.

I think it is a wonderful name! It's very pretty and old fashioned. My name is Elysa with a y. I think spelling it like that makes it even more pretty and unique.
My name is Elisa and I love it, often mis-pronounced but when it is pronounced correctly, Lisa with an E on the front, it is strong, attractive and distinct.
My name is Elisa, and I really like it apart from the fact that it's hard for people to remember or pronounce straight away. I get called Alyssa, Eliza, Elise, Elsa, Elsie and Ailsa. It is pronounced the same as 'Lisa' with an 'E' on the front, ie: el-ee-sah. When I was in Italy and Spain and began spelling out my name to people (as is my habit), they were slightly offended because it's a common name in Europe. The 's' is pronounced more like a 'z' though, ie: el-ee-zah.
