Love Elsie and Isla, not so keen on the others. I think Elsie Ann goes better than Isla Ann.

Ooh i love Elsie.
Marcey is sweet. reminds me of Peanuts (snoopy)

There are a lot of Isla's around, if that makes a difference

Elsie to me is old lady-ish, but then I had a great aunt called Elsie!

Isla is very pretty

Marcey - meh

Lexie is nice but people will assume it is short for Alexis, or something IMO

Like Elsie best - sounds really sweet and you prob won't find too many others. (It really annoys me when I come across loads of kids with the same names as mine!)

Old school names are very du jour though, non?

Lexie or Elsie (I prefer Lexie but would probably go for Alexia or Alexis on the birth certificate).

Isla reminds me of Isla Saint Claire. Marcey is too American.

Really like Lexie - very cute but also pretty strong for later in life. Will stand out in a crowd in a good way.

I'm not sure any of these names go with Ann - I'd choose something a bit longer, but if you have a surname with several sylabals then I guess that would make it work (I like names with a good rhythm). Lexie to me is a nick name, if you really like it then I'd go with Alexia/Alexis and that would be nice for the rhythm too. Or what about a longer form of Elsie like Elisabeth or Elspeth? It's always nice to have a more formal name up your sleeve - also good for telling off - dd really only gets her long name when she's naughty, oh and it's good to have a more unusual name at school for labels etc.

Isla is beautiful - definitely go for that!

Lexie seems to be getting quite common (popular I mean not downmarket) - is it from a TV prog?

Hi, I'm lurking - am not pregnant, just interested!(sorry!!) My little girl is 1 in a week, and she is an Elsie! I don't know any other Elsie's and everyone who asks what her name is thinks it's lovely.
My next favourite is Marcey.

I like Lexie but personally don't think any of the names you have picked go with Ann.

Isla Ann sounds a bit like Isle of Arran.

I like Ailsa but again doesn't go with Ann.

The only one I like is Isla and that's not good with Ann IMO.
