Spelling question for girl's name

We really like the name Alysse (Ah-lees) but am wondering what the best spelling might be. The middle name is Christine after my mother. (I don't want it to be confused with Alice)

Please share your opinion on:

Alysse Christine
Alyse Christine
Alise Christine
Elyse Christine
Elise Christine

Thanks! Also, for boys we like Jackson or Kieran. Which one?

Elyse would be my first choice, Elise a close second. To me (and this is jus a personal opinion), the "A" spellings all look a little off. The one most likely to be confused with Alice is definitely Alysse.

For a boy, I like Kieran much better than Jackson. There's nothing wrong with Jackson, but I hear it so often that I'm just tired of it.

you can use any of those spellings except the one with the double S - the double S just doesn't work for that pronunciation

I personally prefer Elyse of the four

good luck

Elyse or Elise. The others look made up to me (even if they're not).

If I had to choose, I would choose Jackson even though the name is pretty overdone, just because Kieran is not my style. But, on the other hand, it still is a nice name and nice to hear something FRESH! :)
