Spellings and Alternatives to Elissa?

[Willow]

I have a cousin named Alyssa and a friend of a friend named Alisa - not sure if these are the right sound but they're defininitely miles off Eloise.

Good luck, names are haaaaard. We haven't even really begun the 'discussion' yet.

My sister stepdaughter is Alissa

Alyssa
Alisa
Alicia
Alysia
Elise

Not sure if you want an A-lee-sha, Al-ee-see-ah, A-lee-sah or A-liss-ah sound...sorry!

I know someone named Alyssia

Also couldn't help to suggest Elise ... as it's my DD's middle name after my sister

My first DD is also Elyse. We love it. I've never met anyone else with that name, either.
