Elyse

The pronunciation of Elyse varies:

with an “e” like evil and the “y” silent

or other times with an “e” like elephant

I do not like saying my name because it sounds like I have peanut butter on the roof of my mouth

I got my name from my great Grandmother

Her name was Ethel

I also got my middle name from my grandfather Ben

The hated the dreaded middle name is Beth

It is a weak link in the middle of two strong ones

But it flows like a smooth river with the name Elyse

The two names together sound like Elizabeth

If I were to change my name it would be to Spencer

Spencer is a strong, proud name

It sounds like a laid back person who everyone wants to be like and talk to

Although some people say it is a guy’s name

I think it sounds better as a girl’s

Everyone says it the correct way unlike the name Elyse

Normally people usually just call me Elyse

Daddy’s name for me is E.B., short for Elyse Beth

While my mother and friends call me Lysee

Lysee is a cute name

it reminds me of a box of puppies with their mother

I would definitely not want an old fashion name like Sylvia

I am glad my name is Elyse

My personality is fun and adventurous

And Elyse is a fun and adventurous name.
