Middle name for Elsie

[rubynelly]

So I think we've pretty much decided our little girl will be called Elsie but can't decide on a middle name. Our current combinations are...
Elsie Arabella
Elsie Wren
Elsie Rae
Elsie Grey

Honest thoughts please and any other suggestions? Although lovely names, I find Rose and Mae/May as a middle name are just too overused so it has put me off them.

Thank you 🦋

It all depends on your surname really! .. I’m not asking for you to reveal what it is, just keep it in mind when choosing.
I quite like Elsie Wren and Elsie Rae!
How about Elsie Jayne/Jane?

Elsie Jane is lovely

Elsie Claire
Elsie Jean
Elsie Beatrice

I think a single syllable name works best with Elsie- Jane, Belle, Joy etc

I was going to suggest May before reading your post. So I'd go with Rae

Love Wren
Rae is also lovely.

May was my first thought but agree it's very popular.
Elsie Joy sounds nice imo.

Isabella?

I like Elsie Grey.
Also:
Elsie Jade
Elsie Jay
Elsie Georgina
Elsie Elizabeth
Elsie Victoria
Elsie Brianne

Arabella out of those choices, although I do think it’s a bit frilly. Annabel would be better. I think it’s worth giving a full name for at least the middle name in case she won’t want Elsie when she’s older. Avoid a one-syllable name - they just become filler names as middle names, nice though many are as first names. Rae and Wren are particularly awful, though.

Depends on your surname though

I immediately though

Elsie Mae (may)

But out of your list, Elsie Rae

Love Elsie - great choice

Wren works well

Or what about Margaret, Clementine or Pearl

I think Rae and Grey are becoming the new May/Mae/Mai.

I think PP's Elsie Margaret is lovely.
Also
Elsie Anna
Elsie Edith
Elsie Barbara
Elsie June
Elsie Autumn
Elsie Beatrix

Elsie Jay
Elsie Snow
Elsie Faye
Elsie Maeve

I like Elsie Jean, June, Joan or Jane.

Elsie Rae and Elsie Wren are nice. I particularly don't like Grey. It's not even a pretty color.

Elsie Jo
Elsie Lynn
Elsie Louise
Elsie Dawn
Elsie Rose
Elsie Blyth
Elsie Joy
Elsie Olivia
Elsie Florence
Elsie Loren
Elsie Victoria

Elsie Leigh
Elsie Jasmine
Elsie Willow
Elsie Maria
Elsie Madison
Elsie Nicole
Elsie Amelia

Elsie Wren. Sounds lovely! Different without being too different.

Elsie Kathleen

Tanner

I taught an Elsie Rae a few years ago. It suited her down to the ground and I always thought it sounded lovely.

Elsie May?

Elsie Arabella is lovely.

My ggm was Elsie May and she was born in the 1880s, so if you like it, go for it, it is not a new combination.
