We had a miscarriage but still picking out names for our future babies we ttc in a month so I am getting excited again anyway we were stuck between Elise or Audrey for a girl. I think we came to the conclusion to use Elise but he pronounces it uh-lease and I pronounce it ee-lease

    I've only met one Elise, and she pronounced it "ee-lease". However, this is one of those names that will inevitably be pronounced a variety of ways. I wouldn't necessarily let that deter you from going with the name, but just something to keep in mind.

    I'm so sorry for your loss :(

    Looking at the name Elise I automatically say "Ah-leese"

    If that is the pronunciation you want why not spell it Alyse? Just a thought :)

    I use to work with an Elise, and I think it was easier just to call her Uh-lease, so that's what I would usually call her :).

    I'm not sure if you are wanting this kind of feedback, but this pronunciation issue is exactly why I vetoed the name Elise from our list.  My DH likes it, and tried to push it as a mn after I vetoed it as a fn.  I hate how everyone pronounces it differently.

    This might be my dd's name. I would pronounce it uh-leese or ay-leese but not ee-lise. I think it's really pretty and less common than other names I like.
