This is my name, and I pronounce it AHN-eh-lee-zeh. It is beautiful, and everyone comments on it, but no one can spell it or pronounce it! Beware if you name your daughter Annelise!
This is my name too, and as said before, people find it very hard to write or pronounce. I'm living in a Dutch speaking region and people tend to pronounce it "annelies" most of the time. No, they have to say it properly :)
Mattel`s Barbie movie character Annelise was very popular among children.

Annelise means "princess" in Danish.

I certainly don`t like this name. It means "princess"? Come on!? It is only good if you or your girl is a princess.

One- this name does NOT mean princess. It's a form of Anneliese which is a combination of the names Anne and Liese- which is a shortened form of Elizabeth.
And two, your comment kinda made me laugh (sorry) because well, how many girls do you know named Sarah? Because that name does actually mean princess. Naming your child something that means Princess (like Sarah or Amira) is worlds away from actually naming your child Princess.
I love, love, love the name Anneliese but for some reason Annelise just looks wrong to me. Incomplete I guess.
