I love the name and have a difficult surname which I think it sounds ok with.

I want to use it as a stand alone name but couldn't if its seen more as a nn.

How do you think of it?

I think of it as a nickname for Elisabeth. But I'm old fashioned like that.

Nn for me. Lovely though. Good suggestion for Elsa with else NN.

I think it's lovely, but always think of it as a nickname - possibly only because I know an Elsie short for Elisabeth. It was on my short list, but I would have gone for Elsa and used Elsie as a nickname.

Stand alone - it never occurred to me it was short for anything.

Nn for Elizabeth IMO. It's nice

Definitely a proper name.

And a very pretty one too
