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.
