I've already posted about this on the baby name board last night, but want your opinions, too. For those that have been on the board awhile, you know that my husband and I have had a devil of a time naming this little girl. Our first daughter's name is Victoria Ann. We like the name Elise/Elyse as a first name, but have no idea about a middle name. We tried family names and none of them flowed well. We tried the "standards" (Leigh, Lynn, Marie, Grace, Faith, Hope, Love, Joy, World Peace) and none of them flowed as well as we would like. Last name starts with an A and is two syllables.
Ready? Set. Go....
Re: Baby name help...
I would try a longer middle name because of the way the stress falls on the second syllable in Elise.
Some ideas...
Elise Natalie
Elise Joanna
Elise Catherine
Elise Hannah
Elise Margaret
Elise Danielle
Elise Maria
This surprised me! It was a very close 2nd to our 1st daughter's name - I mean exactly, spelling and everything.
I love the name Elise, but also prefer it as a middle name. As a first name, Elisa might give you more / easier flow options for middle names.
Haha, my username should read "3Girlsand1BoyMama"...with #5 on the way! (and then we're done.)
Me, 33, DH, 32 DDs 9, 7, 4 and DS 2. EDD #5 4-29-15
My vote is still for World Peace.
I guess I just like Elise better as a MN. For some reason I just have Lauren Elise in my head as very pretty.
I know it was crossed off your list, but Elise Marie is beautiful IMO.
I agree with Lauren Elise, and also love Elisa Marie.

This is our front runner right now. I like it. DH isn't sold. Maybe it just needs to sit for him.
After that, world peace it is.
I'm also going to vote for Elise World Peace.
What about a 2 syllable mn? Katherine is my fave.
Elise Katherine??
I love the name Lauren Elise! It was my best friend's name in high school. She was/is one of the prettiest women I know. I think that's part of why I want to "borrow" Elise from her.
This is my second favorite.
Love these two! I'm putting them on the table!
This is third on my list!
My fave is definitely Elyse World Peace, but if you foolishly decide against it then I think either a one or three syllable mn.
Elyse Dawn
Elyse Joy
I'm finding it difficult to find anything better than EWP. hee hee.
I like Elise World Peace a lot.
One of my very closest friends' name is Elyse Celeste. I've always loved her name :-)
Elise Christine
Elise Nicole
I like Elise Claire also. :
This!
If you have a family name that you want to give her, who cares if it doesnt flow. Seriously think about the people in your life. Do you know everyone's middle name? I don't so I would rather my kids to grow with a name that means something than sounded nice when they were a baby. That seems to be the only time people pat attention to what the middle name is.
Elise Michelle
Elise Francis or Francesca
Elise Rhianne or Renee
Elise Julia
and I strongly prefer "Elise" to "Elyse"
I have nothing mature to add to this
Ohhh....I like Elise Charlotte!
