Elsa

Frozen will be here for a long time but I think that Elsa is a traditional enough name (particularly in other parts of Europe) that if it were my fave name, I don't think I would let Frozen/Frozen 2 stop me from using it personally. It's not an uncommon name like Merida or Ariel.

But yes, the very classic Elisabeth is a great way to get the nn Elsa. Plus Elisabeth is one of those "can't go wrong" names as it is so timeless with dozens of nn choices (so although she may have to get used to saying "Elisabeth with an S", it's still a safer choice over Elsa for the BC).

Another thought: you could steer clear if Elsa, give your child a different name entirely, and then that name could suddenly become the name of a celebrity or something else. I just read the thread on girls called Alexa, for instance.

At least with Elsa you know what you're in for...

Nah - Let It Go

Wouldn’t bother me as long as I liked the name.

Depends - do you wanna build a snowman?

Frozen isn't going anywhere.

That said...is it that much of an issue for you? Elsa is a traditional name. If you'd had your heart set on Simba before the Lion King came out, I'd be saying don't use it. Elsa...well, she might have a few Let It Go jokes, but perhaps you can live with that.

I like the idea of Elisabeth with Elsa as a nn. If the Frozen references become unbearable, you have a back-up. Plenty of other nicknames for Elisabeth as well if necessary.

Hmm no I don't think frozen has gone away. they released a second or was it third one not so long ago which was eagerly anticipated. Sorry!

I know a lady who has called her baby girl Elsa think she chose it as her 4 year old loves frozen. Depends if the frozen connection bothers you? Frozen 2 came out last November so it's been 14 months.
As it's a Disney film I'd have thought Frozen will be remembered for a long time.
I like it it's a pretty name.

So is the Frozen reference still too overwhelming seven years later? I don't have small children so I'm a bit out of the loop as to whether Frozen is a bit passé now.

Frozen 2 only came out in 2019, sorry but I really don't think the association is going anywhere yet.

Your daughter might love to share her name with A disney protagonist but equally she may get incredibly tired of the association. As it's a unkown roll of the dice I probably would err on the side of caution and not use it.

Yep my child is 3 and has only just discovered it...let it go will be circulating for decades imo

Frozen is still very much a thing. Frozen 2 only came out recently and frozen stuff is everywhere. Depends how much it bothers you but people will make the frozen connection.
