Éloise

Okay, I seriously feel like I'm overusing this community, but I have one more quick question.

 

What do we think of Éloise? Ay-low-ees. It's the French version of Eloise, which I've loved for ages. I'm normally not a huge fan of French names, but I'm positively adoring this one. What do you think? Is it too much of a mouthful?

Love it, but i do think accents at the beginning or middle of the names sound silly, unless you have the appropriate (voice) accent. Take Amélie.. It's not emily with an A, it's Am-ay-lee but try telling that to people with regional accents! I don't know.. perhaps i'm being a tad snobbish but beautiful foreign names are ruined when they arent pronounced correctly.
