Hi, I'm new to the message boards, so first of all hello! I just recently found out I am pregnant and now the fun can begin of finding the perfect name. For a girl, I absolutely love the name Elise, but I am concerned that it might be to similar to our niece's name Ellie. Can someone give me their thoughts on this? Thanks!

My sister and I were due within one month of each other with girls. Her and her husband had decided on the name Emily for a girl when they got married and I had always loved the name Emma.
We went ahead and named our daughters Emily and Emma ... our girls also get called Ems or Emmy ... which is nice because if we call them by the wrong name they don't always realize it!
I say name your girl Elise, it's a beautiful name and if you love it you should do it!!
