I love Holly.
Elsa is nice. As is Elsie.
Too many Sophie/Sophia/Sofias out there.

LadyEloise · 14/02/2021 11:53

Elsie is lovely.

douliket · 14/02/2021 11:47

Definitely Holly,so pretty and elegant
No way to Sofia,sounds very American which I'm not a fan of
Elsa is pretty

Muskox · 14/02/2021 08:03

Holly, then Sofia.

Oops sorry, didn't see your post about liking Elsie!

yearinyearout · 14/02/2021 08:02

Blimey, you can't called a child Elsa nowadays. She will have a lifetime of people just telling her to "let it go!" How about Elsie as an alternative?

Elsie is cooler than Elsa.

FlamingGreatGalaahs · 14/02/2021 07:57

Sofia.

AmIBeingTwatty · 14/02/2021 07:01

Sofia is beautiful.

RichPetunia · 14/02/2021 07:00

Never Elsa, so any of the other two.

porcelinaofthevastoceanss · 14/02/2021 05:29

Holly is lovely. It’s pretty any time but most often used for December babies.

Anystarinthesky · 14/02/2021 05:00

Sofia, then Elsa.

Bluesername · 14/02/2021 04:30

Sofia

Timpeall · 14/02/2021 04:27

Elsie is twee

Timpeall · 14/02/2021 04:27

Elsa. Beautiful name.

I think it hasn't been used as much as it might have been because of the Frozen connection. I've just checked and it was no. 496 in the baby name 'charts' in 2019. It's hardly used at all.

Holly is fine, but a bit pedestrian. Sofia is blah.

alexdgr8 · 14/02/2021 04:26

Sofia, definitely, head and shoulders above the others.

Smallonesaremorejuicy · 14/02/2021 03:45

Elsie not Elsa , too Frozen & I have never seen it!
Don’t like Holly
Sophia is beautiful.

LadyEloise · 14/02/2021 02:07

Holly

SionnachRua · 14/02/2021 02:04

Forgot to add: if you don't like Sof, I wouldn't go for Sofia. Just as while I love Elsa, I wouldn't use it due to the potential of El/Ellie Envy

SionnachRua · 14/02/2021 02:02

Absolutely love Elsa, I've adored it for years (because of the lioness). I think I'd use it, I don't think the Disney princess is that bad of a connection? And I agree with the poster that said Elsie has a very different vibe - downtrodden and meek.

Sofia is ok, much nicer than Sophia or Sophie imo. Holly is pretty too.

sophiet882 · 14/02/2021 01:58

since you say you like Elsie, i would go with that. Smile

beautiful name!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 14/02/2021 01:56

Since when is Holly unique. Granted there not everywhere but I certainly wouldn't call it "Unique" Confused

Ellada19 · 14/02/2021 01:28

@Ellada19

Holly for sure! It’s pretty, it’s unique but familiar, it’s great!

There are a lot of Sofia’s. It has been in the top 10 names every year for 10 years, and usually top 3.

Elsa to me is just too Frozen.

I should add, I may be biased because I have a 9 year old & 7 year old so I had to play “the Elsa song” one million times.
