Elsie

[yayitsagirl]

Suddenly fallen in love with this name after going through hundreds of pages and not warming to any. I don't like it short for anything before people start suggesting using another name on the birth certificate. Was just wondering peoples thoughts on it?

I absolutely love it - would definitely be on my list if I had a girl

Too granny chic & twee for me, sorry.

But if you love it that's all that matters.

Love it. Also love Elsa but i don’t think i’d use it for obvious reasons.

Gorgeous - I’m tempted to steal it and add it to my list. Thank you for the inspiration!

Love it. Was going to be my youngest's name but didn't think it would suit him.

Beautiful

Elsa would be my choice with Elsie as a nickname. I know Elsie is a name in its own right but it feels more like a nickname to me.

So many lovely names in the world and Elsie is the only one that appeals? Seriously?!

Funny-I was just thinking of this name today and how much I liked it!
It was my aunt's name and I was thinking it was overdue for a revival.

It's rife here it's like the new darcie or lily craze I know about 4 kids with it just in my street

I like it.

Absolutely love it.

My puppy is called Elsie, she is very cute 😍

I'm glad people like it, it's only name I've suggested that me OH and all of the family like! It's not popular in my area at all either. Thank you all, makes me like it more 💓

Lovely.

Is it short for Elisabeth?

Elsie sounds a little too cutesy and nicknamey to me.

Lovely name

I love it. Dunno how how it comes across cutesy when it's an old lady name 🤦🏻‍♀️

I like it. I prefer Elsa but Elsie is nice

Sorry, I don't like it. Seems to be a bit of a craze at the moment.

I have a friend in a town about 30miles from me and all the babies are being named with an 'ee' ending and with their accent it's truly awful.

How about changing the letters around and having Elise? Bit more unusual (well it is where I live ) and not so cutesy.

I don't like it- we have an Elsie in the family and I wouldn't even use it as a middle name. Elise is much nicer like a pp suggested in my opinion.

Elsie is lovely- however remember as long as you and oh like the name that’s all that matters. You said about the rest of the family- it doesn’t matter what they think. New grandchildren / nephews etc will be loved just a much whether called Ben or bogglybum it’s your baby.

Obvs bogglybum is on my list!

Here in Scotland, Elsie is usually short for Elspeth. The Elsie I know, hates it, because she’s from the Elsie Tanner ( Corrie) generation. I presume that association has died out, given its rising popularity.
I think it’s too close to Elsa, and all that ‘Let it Go’ malarkey.
