Question

Which is better? Elise or Elaine?

Answer 1

I like Elise a lot better. I really like it too!

Ever consider Elyse? That is how I would spell it if I named my daughter that.

Hope I helped! :-)

Answer 2

Elise.. even better if its spelt Elyse  

Answer 3

Elise is much prettier

Answer 4

Elise

Answer 5

It all depends on the middle name, but I like Elaine more. I would use Elise as a middle name more than a first name.

Answer 6

elsie deffinatly, elaine sounds like an old lady

Answer 7

For a first name, Elise. For a middle name, Elaine.  

Answer 8

Both are beautiful.

I personally like Elise better.  While Elaine is a lovely name from Arthurian legends, its popularity peaked in the 1940's, so it might strike some as an old-lady name.  (Most Elaines would now be in their mid-60's.)

While Elise is not common, it is more popular today than it was 70 years ago, so it has a slightly fresher feel.  It also feels a bit more European, which I love.  (It makes me think of Beethoven's "Fuer Elise.")

Answer 9

Elise is prettier

xx

Answer 10

Elise...but it's my own daughter's middle name. I looooove this name.

Answer 11

Elise.  Why don't you spell it Elyse

Answer 12

I like Elise more.  Both are really pretty, but Elaine sounds a bit harsher and not as nice as Elise.  Elise, to me anyway, also seems more uncommon and cool lol.

Answer 13

Elaine

Answer 14

elaine:]

Answer 15

Elise is gorgeous while Elaine is more like a  common persons name

Answer 16

Elise is sooooo beautiful. It's more modern too. Elaine is just a bit old-fashioned for me.

Answer 17

I think both are pretty, but I like Elaine better. It is a great name for adulthood and you could call her Lanie when she is younger. Personally, I like Elaina.

Good luck!

Answer 18

I prefer Elaine. Lain or Lainey is a cute nickname.

Answer 19

Elaine is old fashioned, I like it more.
