A middle name for Elsie

I think DH and I have finally decided on a name for our little lady that is due in May...phew! We both love the name Elsie and originally we were going to call her Elsie May, but now I am worried that the combination is a little 'obvious' so I wondered if you lovely MN ladies could help me with a middle name that would work with Elsie? :)

Off the top of my head...

Elsie Clara
Elsie Flora
Elsie Freya
Elsie Joy
Elsie Frances
Elsie Merryn
Elsie Catherine
Elsie Jane
Elsie Georgia
Elsie Charlotte
Elsie Maeve
Elsie Kate

I think you probably want something fairly plain, beginning with a consonant.

Ooh I love Elsie Maeve! Bit of a twist on May and much nicer

Elsie Maeve is gorgeous! How about:

Elsie Matilda
Elsie Faye
Elsie Jessamine
Elsie Violet
Elsie Niamh
Elsie Nia
Elsie Lyla
Elsie Genevieve

Don't like Elsie May, but someone upthread put Elsie Maeve. I'd never in a million years thought of that, but it really caught my eye. Love it.

Elsie Belle sprang to my mind.

Thanks everyone! I love Elsie Nia and Elsie Maeve. I also love Elsie Neve (or Niamh). Definitely prefer all of these to our original 'Elsie May' :)
