[Opinions] Re: Elise
DH and I like Elise quite a bit. In fact, I'm surprised it was never in serious consideration for us (as a short form of Elisabeth, that is). It definitely feels fresh to me (haven't known a single person with the name) and I definitely wouldn't associate it with Beethoven at all.

I often find it pretty an elegant but it's not so pretty or rare enough that I am awed when I meet someone with this name, so it can maybe be a bit boring at times. I would not think it was reference to anything, maybe if I later found out her parents were classical music aficionados, but under normal circumstances it wouldn't cross my mind.
