Thoughts on "Claire Elise"?

Magnolia+Mama

Last name is 1 syllable and begins with Z. Big sister's name is "Avery Elizabeth." Trying to get DH on board but he isn't sold...yet. Open to suggestions for alternative middle names. Thanks in advance!!

I like Claire Elise. I was almost named Claire and my middle name is Elise

Claire Elise makes me think of Fur Elise. Not saying that is a bad thing, just an association.
I'm wondering if a multi-syllable first name might pair better with the single syllable last name since most people go by FirstName LastName most of the time.
No real issue with either name, just not sure I would put them together.

I like it a lot.

Love it!

I love it!!! Sounds good with sis Avery.

I like both names, but it doesn't flow that well IMO. Also I wouldn't pick Claire if you have a one syllable last name, unless you absolutely love it and couldn't possibly name her something else.

It's beautiful

I like it but I think you could find a middle name that flows a little better.

I like the name a lot, but Elise is a variant of Elizabeth. Is that intentional?

Other suggestions :
Claire Frances
Claire Francesca
Claire Matilda
Claire Helena

I love both names as well, but agree they don't flow well together and Elise is too close/a variant of Elisabeth.

Claire Elise makes me think of Clairese...as in Silence of the Lambs.

That same name/mn combo is on the top of my list, so I obviously love it. It is actually the name that DH was going to have if he was a girl, which I didn't even know when I first picked it. MIL told me later when we were discussing names. Our last name has two syllables though, and I get what others have said about a single syllable last name maybe not flowing as well. I love Elise as a first name too so maybe consider that to flow better with your last name? In the end it wouldn't be awful to have two single syllable names, but it is something to consider.

I love Claire, but think it's better with a longer mn.

Claire Annelise
Claire Alexandra
Claire Olivia

I agree with more length to the MN. DH and I are just struggling to agree. I like Claire Alexandra too:)

I like Claire, not sure it sounds good with Elise.

I also had the Fur Elise association. But I do love both Claire and Elise.

I came here to make this comment!

But I do think both names are lovely. Maybe Clara?

Love it but I don't like one syllable first and last names together.

This. Needs a longer MN.
