I much prefer Elise. I also dislike hyphens, and think it sounds like 'Ellis and Grace'.

Prefer Mélisande, for that I would say 'mey-lee-SAND' or 'meh-lee-SAND'. So for Elisande, I would say the same but without the 'm'.
I dislike the hyphen-Grace, I think the hyphen is unnecessary and the flow is all off. If you pronounce it 'MEH-lee-sand' instead it works better. My advice is lose the hyphen, it cheapens the name.

Its ok, I prefer Melisande or Elise or Elisabeth.

e-li-SAN-dee

Very pretty.

It looks like Melisande without the M.

I prefer Melisande, but it's pretty. I'd pronounce it just like Melisande with no M.

I entirely dislike hyphens and so obviously am not a fan of Elisande-Grace.

ELLY-sahnd. I think it's fine, though I prefer Melisande.

Elisande-Grace is long and difficult to say if you're wanting it for a double name. When I try it, it sounds like I'm mispronouncing Ellison-Grace, and the S's near each other make me trip a bit. I don't dig it at all; it's one where that Elisande Grace "Elli-Grace" or something similar would be a serious improvement.

Ell-ih-sahnd-eh. The "eh" is barely pronounced at all. It's sort of hard to explain.

I like it, but I like Melisande miles more. the hyphen-Grace completely ruins both names for me. It just seems so trendy and tacky and overdone, and it kills the name for me.
