I've always hated the name Fleur, so I'm not really fond of it.

I really like Fleur Elise!Neither a fan of hyphenated nor apostrophe names though.I just don't know whether I would actually use Fleur as the first name... maybe it's too French/alien to use it somewhere else. Elise is lovely, but usually better as a middle name since people use it so often thesedays.
But I really like the combo's sound and it's soft shape.Well, why not Elise Fleur OR if you don't want Elise to be the first name Flora Elise? I think, Flora would be a good choice instead of Fleur.

Unfortunately, Für Elise is all I think of. It is a pretty sounding combo though.

I can see why you like it. Personnaly I prefer Fleur-Elise.

I really like it too, but I do think it sounds too much like the song.
Because of that, I would not hyphenate. That way she would't get as many comments, because people would be less likely to know her middle name.Fleur Elise would be my choice.

It sounds like fleur-de-lis to me. I like it though...

I thought of "fleur de lis" immediately.
I wouldn't do it. Sorry.

Reminds me of the classical song, Für Elise

Piano song.

I think it's too close to Fur Elise, too. Maybe for a character who's parents are into classical music or names that can also be jokes? Or it could be Wyatt Isabelle's future sister.

It made me think of Für Elise right off the bat. I think it may be a little difficult to to live with, although it's not like it's a bad association or anything. I think Flora Elise, Florence Elisa, or Fleur Elisa might be better choices, because they don't immediately bring Für Elise to mind. I do like both Fleur and Elise, though. Hmm.

Yes I think it sounds a lot of like Für Elise, but that's not really a bad thing. Fleur Elise as a first name/middle name is fine; people won't hear it together often enough for the connection to be really obvious.However, I don't like it as a double first name.

It is a pretty combo, but also very close to both Für Elise and fleur-de-lis ...I like Fleur-Élise best of the four variants. :)

Yes, it's too much like Für Elise. It's a no go. Maybe Florence Elise ?
