I have just found out i am having my first girl after 3 boys so v excited!
My favourite name right now is Eslyn, love the meaning behind it and I have only known one other person use it who i no longer see now as was an old neighbour. Also Elsie is growing on me. DH and I previously decided on Sienna when we I was expecting our 2nd son as we didn't find out the sex, but i feel that this name is too overused now.
Also really like the irish name Saoirse.
what do people think?

Never give a child a name that will make people who speak the same language say “l’m sorry-I didn’t catch that” Every.Single.Time. For. 90. Years.

I’d go with Elsie too.

Elsie is lovely, so are the other two but they are hard to spell and impossible to pronounce unless you already know them
