Elise stollen, so considering new names... Suggestions & Feedback please!

Beatrice - has same ending sound, plus lots of cute nns.
Melissa - sas Elissa right in it, plus nn Lissa/Lissie
Elsie - same letters as Elise, just in a different order. Could be a name on its own, or a nn for Elsa, Elisabeth etc...
Elisabeth nn Elise, Elisa, Lisbeth etc...

From your list, I quite like Adelaide and Eliza (which I pronounce "Elle-iza"). What about Adelaide Elise as a combination?

[ellenelle]

I would say Elisa "Eh-lissa" but would not be at all taken aback if an Elisa replied, "No, it's Eh-lee-sa," so I think it's ok. I pronounce Eliza as some sort of "Eh-liza" that sort of slides towards "Ee-liza." I LOVE Eliza--great name!!

For what it's worth, I know only one Emeline (that spelling) and she is mostly called by her full name (or just Em)... I think Emmy or Lina could work to avoid Emma.

Elsa and Eliza are personal favorites, and I think they are close to Elise. I also like Esme, but I worry about the Twilight connection? lol

I love Eliza! I pronounce it as Ee-lie-zuh.

Suddenly tgought 'bout Liesl, it seems to fit all your criteria.

What about Alice? sounds so similar but sucha different name.

[shaymin2]

I'd use Elise. It a fairly common name, so its bound to be the name of more than one person in your life. Have you considered Annelise?

[lynae]

Annelise is a good idea. I also like Elsie

~Elisa - I say Uh-lee-suh
~Eliza - I say Uh-lie-zuh..I really love this name. I think Liza is pretty too.
~Estelle- Very pretty, I also like Estella and Estrella
~Emmeline- I'm not a fan, it reminds me of popular names like Emmy/Emma/Emily, but it also sounds stuffy to me.
~Adalaide- I'm not that into the Addy names either
~Lorraine- This name is really pretty and has a kind of strong sound to it.

I think you might like:
