Dumb opinion that was incorrect.

It is correct. Elizabeth's French form is Elisabeth, not Elise. Elise also exists but is not the "French form" of Elizabeth. I'm French, so I know about French names.

Correct BtN if it's wrong, but...It says Elise is an English short form of Elisabeth. Élise is the French short form of Elisabeth.

That's right. But she said Elise was the French form of Elizabeth.
