I know these type of names are not to everyone's liking but I'm currently loving.....

All of your single names look like diminutives to me.

I'm not a fan of hyphens.

From your list, I would choose Clara Louise (no hyphen) to be known as Clara. I really like this name.

I only like Elsie.

Don't do the hyphens!

Hyphenated names looking chavvy but that might not bother you - I would just rather know all the potential negative views before making a choice.

I love Nancy - such a pretty but strong name at the same time.

Connie I only really like as a nickname for something - maybe Corinne ? Or if you decide you do want hyphenated names maybe Cora-Nancy

Polly is sweet but prefer it for Penelope

Josie for Josephine but did you know Posy is for Josephine too? I found that out recently and thought it was quite sweet

Ok I’m getting boring now but prefer Betsy as a nickname for Elspeth Elizabeth or Beatrice

Elsie is nice
