Have you considered Elise Alexandra Cullen? That sounds gorgeous and flows so well!

Thanks for the post. I do like Elise Alexandra, but my husband is a bit non-committal on Alexandra.

Elise is a better middle name. Why don't you just do that and still call her Elise. I am by my middle name and so is my mom.

I voted for Elise Renee Cullen...but could I give my .02


I would probably use -


Elisa (eh lee sah/eh lie zah) Renee


The "ah" sound sounds a better to me at the end.

I voted for Elise, the reason that one flows the best is that since the accent is on the second syllable in Elise, it's better that the accent NOT be on the first syllable of the middle name, which it would be for Hannah, Charlotte and Tara, so you just don't get a good flow.

here are some other examples if you're not completely sold on Renee, although I think it sound fine.

Elise Brianne, Elise Corinne, Elise Danielle, Elise Gisele (maybe too S heavy there in the middle though), Elise Janelle, Elise Jolene, Elise Joelle, Elise Javonne, Elise Kathleen, Elise Michelle, Elise Monique, Elise Maureen, Elise Nicole, Elise Noelle, Elise Nadine.

good luck.
