I vote for Elise Victoria.

I vote for Elise Victoria, although Laura Juliet is a very close runner up.

Part of me just wants you settle on the much-labored over Elise Victoria (which I adore), but then you throw out a charmer of Rosemary Tess(!) which I think I love more. Such a lovely name! Laura Juliet is very sweet, but seems a bit plain compared to your other picks. But really, it's basically like comparing apple pie, strawberry shortcake, and peach cobbler. Either way you have a winner.

But I am a very big fan of Rosemary Tess Burrows. The Rs and long Os make it musical to me, although I can forsee some people having problems with it.

I think ilikemints and I are kindred spirits, haha. We seem to agree quite a bit!

Elise Victoria is quite beautiful -- it almost has a silky, satin-y feel when it rolls off the tongue. Laura Juliet, while very nice, just doesn't have that "wow" factor. 

That said, I have to agree that Rosemary Tess is quite charming and spunky. I just love it. 

I can't decide between Elise Victoria and Rosemary Tess, both are really good.  Would you use Rose as a nickname?  Clair and Rose are adorable together and might cause me to learn towards Rosemary Tess a bit more.

I think Laura Juliet is lovely as well.  I rank it after the other two names by just the tiniest fraction.

Who are the middle names honoring?  The names are all very solid on their own and for me, the strength of the namesake would be the deciding factor.

Well, I'm going to be in the minority here, but I love Elise Victoria while I completely adore Laura Juliet! Rosemary Tess just seems choppy to my tongue.

Those are all three great names, so I think you'll be good whatever you choose (but my vote is for Laura Juliet!).

My vote would definitely go to Rosemary Tess Burrows, which I adore.  Rosemary Burrows has such a nice balance and flow to it--I think she sounds like a character in a lovely book--and I think Rosemary is much more unexpected and distinctive than Elise these days.  I also like Laura Juliet, which has a very classic and pretty feel.  And as I've mentioned before, Elise is not my personal favorite (my acquaintances have always been saturated with Elises and soundalikes, among my peers and my kids', and some of them haven't been the most pleasant people), but Elise Victoria B. does have a nice feel and flow as well, so I think you really can't go wrong with any of these. 

Stick with Elise Victoria, second choice is Laura Juliet. Rosemary Tess is ok, but not a fan of Tess.

Rosemary Tess is so sweet and British-y! I love it and it gets my vote. 

Best wishes!

Elise Victoria Burrows is really lovely, and still my top choice for you.

Laura Juliet is okay.  (My name is Laura, and I've always felt like it's a bit bland.  On the other hand, it's never been difficult or embarassing.)

Rosemary is quite nice, but I'm not a fan of Tess.  Tess is a nickname for Theresa, and I just don't like nicknames on the birth certificate.  The flow of those three names is really nice, though.

All three go nicely with Clairissa.  Maybe just wait to meet the baby and see which fits her?

I'm sticking with Elise Victoria.

It's a beautifully simple name, with a timeless style, much like Clair.

I could get behind Rose, but Rosemary feels a bit stuffy to me, and also has an, "Of the moment," quality that I think both Elise and Clair transcend.

I like Laura very much, but for no particular reason, I much prefer Elise with your ln.

gl!

Thank you everyone!

I think I would have to stick with Elise Victoria to match Clarissa Joyce. I think both are lovely individually and as a set. That said, I adore Rosemary Tess Burrows. I love the sound combo and think Rosemay nn Rose would go really well with Clair/Clarissa.

Laura Juliet is lovely but I know a ton of (now adult) Laura and Clair sibsets, so it's a bit too expected to me.

I like all three choices and don't think you can go wrong here, but I like Elise Victoria the best. My second choice would be Laura Juliet.

The first two are def. the best choices,  both are lovely!! Personally I like Laura Juliet a touch more!

Rosemary Tess!!!!!! I think it's absolutely charming.  Clairissa & Rosemary sound lovely as a sibset as do their nicknames (Clair & Rose).  I think Tess stands up just fine as a MN.  Granted, she may not be the best example of a namesake, but the 1891 novel Tess of the d'Urbervilles uses it as a stand alone name, and putting it in the middle slot gives Rosemary a little pizzaz.

i'm still leaning towards victoria for a middle name, but someone i know proposed Elise Priscilla-thoughts on that one?
