Just that really - we're thinking of a longer name but the only shortening of it that we like is Elsie (I realise you can't always affect what shortening they end up with though). Is it very popular?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Forgot to add - it will get shortened by kids to Else. Still like it.

It's quite popular. It is a short form of Elizabeth. It could be short for Elspeth too, I suppose. It's nice.
I don't think you can go wrong with Elizabeth nn Elsa or Elsie.

The only Elsie I know is my great aunt who’s in her 70s! It’s a lovely name, wouldn’t say it’s over popular, but I guess that may vary from area to area

I hear Evie, Isla a lot but not Elsie.
Will it be short for Elizabeth,

In my opinion names like
Elsie Evie Isla ivy are really popular!
Where I live anyway!!

I don't know any.

I’ve met one under 5.
What’s the longer name?

Should be helpful if popularity is a consideration.

No, not at all. I don't know any Elsies.

I don't think it's overused at all, it's lovely.
