Usually keep names I like to myself, told family these two last night and remembered why I do that 😂
Interested in what other people think of these names now and any other girl suggestions?..

I love Elsie. It's one of my favourites.

Madison is ok. I don't like the grannie chic names that are coming back in and don't like Elsie. She was my nannas mate with headscarf and curlers.

Why not combine the two and have Maisie?

I love Elsie.

Madison sounds like cheesy American.

Sally and Jane belong with Sharon and Keith - names 'whose time has not yet returned'. They are not perfectly normal names now - they were fine 50-60 years ago. They are out of style, Sally moreso than Jane. Lisa and Linda are perfectly normal names too, but it would be strange to use them.

Madison is awful (along with Addison, Adalynn, Madelynn, Makayla, Makenzie, Mckenna, Riley, Dakota, Lexi, Kelsey, Kayleigh, Kayla, Skyla, Taylor, Sailor...) Elsie is dreadful (along with Poppy, Alfie, Charlie, Archie, Dolly, Dulcie...)

It's not that strange to use a name like that, math.

I was given a name that was out of date - basically I was given it a generation too early.

I didn't like it growing up, but I really like it now.

And it's quite nice having a name that's current as an adult, rather than just being yet another 40-something Karen, Nicole, Jennifer, Claire, Sarah, Angela, Joanne, etc.
