What’s the imagery for each and which one do you prefer?

i’ll always prefer elise! to me she’s elegant & sweet, she also has the sweet nickname of leesy!
alice is nice just not my style! 
[name_f]Elise[/name_f] has a brighter, light feel, somehow breezy, floral and delicate, but with spark too - like spring blossom but also colourful flowers too
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] is stronger, literary and solidly classic, but with sweetness too 
I like both but I [name_f]Elise[/name_f] is my favourite
It’s hard for me to choose. I like both names equally. They are both classic and beautiful, just have different vibes.
To me, [name_f]Alice[/name_f] is sweet and playful, like [name_f]Alice[/name_f] in wonderland. While [name_f]Elise[/name_f] is more reserved and elegant. It always makes me think of Beethoven’s für [name_f]Elise[/name_f].

I prefer [name_f]Elise[/name_f] as a first name than [name_f]Alice[/name_f]. [name_f]Alice[/name_f] just doesn’t have as appealing of a sound as [name_f]Elise[/name_f]. [name_f]Elise[/name_f] is softer and has a brighter sound to her, where [name_f]Alice[/name_f] makes me think of a sad little girl for some reason
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] is quite upright, educated, bookish, [name_f]British[/name_f], a bit jolly hockey sticks but also forthright, capable, resourceful, practical and decisive (much like the literary character).
[name_f]Elise[/name_f] is a bit ambiguous in vibe for me, part saccharine sweet, sparkly, pink and princessy, part smart [name_m]French[/name_m] chic, and part 90s. Suppose that means it’s quite versatile and wearable? But I do prefer [name_f]Alice[/name_f].

[name_f]Alice[/name_f] is an Edwardian gem to me! I think of vintage wallpaper and [name_f]Queen[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f] homes and [name_m]Dutch[/name_m] braids tied with ribbons. She’s sweet and quiet, but knows her own mind.
[name_f]Elise[/name_f] is more mid-century vintage. She’s fun-loving and witty and goes to bed in pin curls every night! She has a laugh that can light up a room and listens to her music just a little too loud.
I personally prefer [name_f]Elise[/name_f]!
[name_f]Elise[/name_f] was one of my favorite names growing up as a kid. If [name_f]Elise[/name_f] could be defined in a word, it would be elegance. The name emanates elegance and poise, and reminds me of blooming roses, ballet slippers, perfume, tasteful and classic choices in clothing and jewelry, pale pink, pale blue, and white, tiny diamonds, going to the theatre, and swans. [name_f]My[/name_f] only worry is I once heard it pronounced Eh-leez instead of Eh-leese, but I think that would be rare and would only warrant a simple correction.
I used to love [name_f]Alice[/name_f], but unfortunately I met a person who ruins the name for me. It feels a little rowdier than [name_f]Elise[/name_f] and less refined. I’m not a massive fan of seeing “lice” in the word. [name_f]Alice[/name_f] reminds me of gingham fabric, [name_f]Alice[/name_f] in Wonderland, childrens’ novels, and braids with ribbons.

same thing happened to me, only I watched Alice in wonderland and now the name seems to childish to be ever used, it just doesn’t age for me, which in weird because I’ve only met one Alice who was in her 80s. it just doesn’t seem like a name that can age to me.
