Too Disney still?

So I love Elsa but put off by Frozen. Will she have "Let it go" sung at her at every opportunity?

Considering Ailsa too as I am half Scottish but i can't shake the home and away connection (which definitely shows my age) and I am not sure I love it as much as Elsa.

Elsa is a lovely name! Can imagine it on all ages. I don’t think the Frozen association is a bad thing. Ailsa might lead to pronunciation/spelling confusion but still nice!

Elissa?

Eliza or Elise instead?

I don’t think the Frozen association is necessarily a bad thing- it’s still a pretty normal name (unlike, say Ariel or Esmerelda which are a bit more out there) and kids LOVE Elsa so she’ll not be teased for it.

Dwayne Johnson has two daughters called Tiana and Jasmine, which are both Disney Princess names, but not too in your face.

Elsa is gorgeous. I think it will be associated with Frozen for a while but it might not put me off?

Ailsa is also lovely. Might it be misheard as Elsa though?

Elsie? Isla? Orla?

Frozen won’t be a huge thing in 20 years.

You say that but the baby name Ariel is still very Little Mermaid and that came out in the mid-90s.

I love both names @Champy87

I'm due DD2 anytime now and we're shortening her name to Elsie. Smile

Ailsa is lovely. Ilse also an option if you’re feeling more German? Elsa is very Frozen... but doesnt seem to be very highly used as far as I can tell. Frozen won’t be a huge thing in 20 years.
