Elise Dionne Finch Henriques, known simply as Elise Finch, was an American television meteorologist and news journalist for the CBS2 network where she worked for 16 years, until her sudden and unexpected passing just a few days ago. Elise was a renowned, emmy-award winning meteorologist and was known for her warm and caring personality. Her death made national news due to the impact that she had, both in the news community where she made a second home, as well as with many viewers. Some might not be familiar with her prior to reading this comment, but many New Yorkers certainly knew who she was.

Elise is a very sweet, delicate and beautiful name for a girl. It’s not too popular, and it is very feminine and fairy/princess like. I prefer this name to Elsie, which is pretty similar. Anyone would be lucky to have this name!

Elise is a beautiful name, in my opinion. It is angelic, kind, sweet, and is ageless.
My name is personally Lisa, but this other version of Elizabeth is a perfect and classic name. I would use this more as a first name than a middle one, but nonetheless either is suitable, and is more feminine than masculine. This name I also feel is ageless, and wouldn't outgrow your child as they get older. It is also unique and distinct, and your child might enjoy having a distinct name like Elise than something like Mary or Emma.
I am using the name Elise in one of the fanfiction novels I am writing, and I feel that this name perfectly suits her.

This is my name. I'm a wildland firefighter and a fairly masculine person but when I was younger people always expected me to be delicate and traditionally feminine due to my name. And that sort of expectation kind of conditions you to not take yourself seriously or understand your strength. It's a nice name, but I'd think carefully before giving it to your daughter. Maybe give her a middle name or nickname to use as an alternate.

It's interesting how so many people here say that they think Elise is sweet, angelic, pure, etc. I feel it exactly the same. When I think about this name I see a girl with long, brown, wavy hair, pale skin, dark blue eyes with long lashes, small, white, delicate hands, she's very slender and has petite features. She is introverted, has a very kind heart and is good natured, can be very shy and withdraw easily but likes helping people and is very considerate about other feelings. She is acutely sensitive and always wants to be the best, and is simply nice, would never do something bad or hurtful for others on purpose, is very patient and a great listener, although can be a little vain, she loves daydreaming and being surrounded with beauty. Elise is very intelligent and has an ear for music, but is always incredibly modest and not very self-confident. She has a natural air of sophistication, elegance and mystery around her. And I really think it's a very elegant and refined name. The fact that the first thing that comes to my mind when I think about this name is a little girl doesn't mean that I can't picture a grown-up woman with this name, in fact I think it can age really well, and is good as both a first or a middle name. I think it goes particularly well with some other sweet but a bit stronger name, and looks good when hyphenated.

This name is very pretty and while it works okay as a full name, I prefer it as a nickname for Elisabeth or Elizabeth, which grant the bearer more options in case she finds Elise boring and would rather be a Libby, Beth, Ellie, etc. Plus, it makes me think of that frustrating Princess Elise from Sonic ‘06, but I think that awful game has largely been forgotten by most and is only brought up when necessary, so it isn’t too bad.

This name is wonderful. It would sound great as a first name, especially as a middle name. I know someone who pronounces it i-LEES. If I ever have a daughter I would probably name her Elise.

My name is Elise and the E is pronounced as an E. Overall I love my name because it's unique and I'm the only person in my class with it. I hate it when I meet someone with the same name. Sometimes I get called "Alise", or "Elsie" by people who can't read. I also jump or turn my head whenever I hear someone say "at least" because they sound so similar. My mother first heard the name Elise from the mom on "Family Ties".

Always hated my name growing up... but as an adult I get a lot of comments from others saying that they like it or it's a pretty name. But as a child... I hated my mother... (not really). My hubby plays Fur Elise for me. It's a popular name in books as well, and there is a Lotus Elise in England.

This is my name but spelled Aliese. It's pronounced the same though. I find the spelling of my name very strange. People always try to call me Alice or Elisa. I decided everyone should just call me Ally.
It's a nice name, just to confusing and gets mixed up a lot.

This is a beautiful name, I think. I love names like Eliza, Eli, Elliot, Elias, and this one. And the fact that 'El' is associated with God makes me like the names even more.
This name always reminds me of Princess Elise the Third of Soleanna, from the video game series I'm so addicted to.

How pretty! What a sweet, elegant and strong name. So different and not all trendy like some trashy made-up names I've heard. I'd consider this name if not for my daughter then for my niece if I ever have one! This name gives me an image of a girl who is polite, yet makes her feelings known, is so strong yet so gentle, someone who doesn't give up.

I like this name a lot, like I also like Elsa. For some strange reason, this name always makes me picture some enigmatic, classy-looking, somewhat aloof and cold young woman with long, brown hair and pale skin, in other words, the same things as Elsa, with the exception that Elsa makes me picture a similar woman with blonde hair.

My parents named me Elise after the cure song "LETTER TO ELISE."
I've always hated my name because I get called Elsie all the time. Also when at fast food places that ask for your name and then call out your order by your name, everyone misspronounces Elise so I never know what order is mine.

My only sister is named Christen Elise. If our brother had been a boy, he would have been named Elise something. Elise, a variant of Elizabeth, means, among other things, "Oath of God". My sister, though only eleven, loves her name because it references God -- something I wish my name did. Elise is cute and adorable for a little girl yet elegant and beautiful for a woman. I would name my daughter Elise, but the name is taken in our family.
