Pronunciation vs. of vs. Elisa and Eliza

Do you think Eliza and Elisa pronounced the same or differently? How would you say them? To me Eliza is ee-LIE-zuh. I am not sure how one might say Elisa, however. I feel like it has two correct pronunciations ee-LIE-suh, like Eliza with an 's' sound instead of a 'z' sound, or ee-LEE-suh, like Lisa with a long 'e' sound at the front. What do you think? ee-LIE-suh, ee-LEE-suh, or both and which do you prefer?

Genie's Mailbag

Hannah in Tennessee
Help! I love the name Guinevere, but I can't think of a really good brother and sister name for her. Since Guinevere is so empowering, I want the next names to be powerful as well. Thanks, Genie!
Baby Name Genie:
You seek the Holy Grail of names. Let me help you in your quest. The brother of fair Guinevere will fight on foot with swords aplenty, but on his horse he'll surely lance a lot. Name him Edward for a regal name. A sister could be dubbed Katherine if greatness is what you desire.
