Middle name for Elsie

29 replies

rubynelly · 27/06/2020 14:48

So I think we've pretty much decided our little girl will be called Elsie but can't decide on a middle name. Our current combinations are...
Elsie Arabella
Elsie Wren
Elsie Rae
Elsie Grey

Honest thoughts please and any other suggestions? Although lovely names, I find Rose and Mae/May as a middle name are just too overused so it has put me off them.

Thank you 🦋

We call our Elsie Jayne 'Elsie Mo'. X

We have an Elsie Jayne so obviously love that, but Elsie Wren is sweet. X

My ggm was Elsie May and she was born in the 1880s, so if you like it, go for it, it is not a new combination.

Onestepup · 27/06/2020 23:55

Elsie Arabella is lovely.

whiteroseredrose · 27/06/2020 23:03

Elsie May?

I taught an Elsie Rae a few years ago. It suited her down to the ground and I always thought it sounded lovely.

Elsie Wren. Sounds lovely! Different without being too different.

Elsie Rae and Elsie Wren are nice. I particularly don't like Grey. It's not even a pretty color.

Elsie Lynn
Elsie Louise
Elsie Dawn
Elsie Rose
Elsie Blyth

I think Rae and Grey are becoming the new May/Mae/Mai.

I think PP's Elsie Margaret is lovely.
Also
Elsie Anna
Elsie Edith
Elsie Barbara
Elsie June
Elsie Autumn
Elsie Beatrix

Love Elsie - great choice

Wren works well

Or what about Margaret, Clementine or Pearl

Tigger001 · 27/06/2020 15:19

I immediately though

Elsie Mae (may)

But out of your list, Elsie Rae

YouDirtyMare · 27/06/2020 15:15

Depends on your surname though

daisypond · 27/06/2020 15:14

Arabella out of those choices, although I do think it’s a bit frilly. Annabel would be better. I think it’s worth giving a full name for at least the middle name in case she won’t want Elsie when she’s older. Avoid a one-syllable name - they just become filler names as middle names, nice though many are as first names. Rae and Wren are particularly awful, though.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 27/06/2020 15:12

I like Elsie Grey.
Also:
Elsie Jade
Elsie Jay
Elsie Georgina
Elsie Elizabeth
Elsie Victoria
Elsie Brianne

YouDirtyMare · 27/06/2020 15:11

Isabella?

TheFormerPorpentinaScamander · 27/06/2020 15:06

Love Wren
Rae is also lovely.

May was my first thought but agree it's very popular.
Elsie Joy sounds nice imo.
