Elspeth shortened to Elsie - what do you think?

[namehelpneeded]

Ive finally got dh round to my way of thinking and we are planning on going with this name - what do you reckon?

Prefer Elsa

Love both! Sister in law is Elspeth, she is in her twenties, very cool, and it suits her loads! She is called Els mostly. Go with it! X

I love Elspeth. Don't like Elsie, I think Elsie Tanner, sorry.

I like aslongas nickname of Eppie though.

Yes of course they are old lady names, most lovely ladies are now in their 80's and 90's with those names. its just the wheel is turning and its now their turn to be back in favour. I love elizabeth a little more than elspeth only as its easier to say and elsie is lovely. elizabeth or elisabeth is so versatile you can have so many nn including elsie!

Elspeth I like.

Elsie was the name of one of my aunts who would now be well over 100!

Elsa will forever be associated with a lioness (Born Free...)

Ismay (pronounced Izmay)? Esme (pronounced Ezmay)?

Love Elspeth!! I know a very trendy 22 year old one who goes by the nn Eppie

I like both of them: I know an Elsie - only thing her mother says is a lot of people think she must be a mis-spelled Elise. I would never have thought of that. Elspeth is nice but I think I prefer Elsa or (if you like all thinks Scottish) what about Ailsa?

This thread is nearly two years old.

I think the OP has probably made up her mind one way or the other by now.

aslongasheneedsme - did you do a search of your own name in order to bump this thread?!
