Thoughts on...... Elsie

[VintageGirl89]

Just looking for some thoughts/opinions on the name Elsie? Am concerned it might be quite old sounding next to Noah.

I'm not worried about popularity, I actually prefer top 100 names having had an uncommon name myself growing up and hating it.
Siblings are Noah and Jacob.

The other names we are considering are:
Isabella, Daisy, Poppy, Amelia, Connie, Chloe, Robyn (worried this could only be used for a Christmas baby?), Lily-Rose (people on here don't seem to like double barrel names?) and Delilah (negative biblical reference? Maybe off putting slighty).

Which would you pick? And why?

Many thanks.

I love Elsie. Also Daisy, Poppy and Connie.

Isabella, Amelia, Sofia and Chloe are imo, very similar-styled names that are totally different to the first group - and all very, very over-used.

Robyn is nice and I wouldn't associate it with Christmas. Lily-Rose less nice and Delilah I really don't like.

I think Elsie is really cute.

My favourite from the others is Daisy, that's on my list too 🌼

I meant to add that I am unsure on Daisy because I'm not sure I want to name my daughter after a weed (in some weeks cases/places), although I do love the name and love it with my partners surname....suppose it just depends if I care what others think/say or go with how I feel. But it's front runner for her first name or middle name.

One of my friends made a comment that it would sound daft for a woman to be called Daisy as she ages but I don't agree x

I know a 6yo Elsie. Its a lovely name. Also a Lily in the class. Plenty of Eva/ Ava/ Isabel about too.

Love Elsie, it’s beautiful!
Connie is nice too.

Love Elsie Sofia and Delilah. Infact love all your names and all work great with Noah

@Whatsyourflava I'm worried Delilah would be too linked to the biblical name and tars it a little bit. What do you think? Because I had negative reactions about Jacob because he held his brothers heel or something.....

My Grandma was an Elsie and she was a miserable old bag, so no! It's so 'old lady'.

I really like Elsie. Of your other options, Connie is my preference.

Jacob stole Esau's birthright.

Ubiquitous

My Elsie is 14. The name wasn’t in the top 500 when I named her.... after Elsie Tanner!😁 Well, I had being reading an article about Coronation street and Elsie Tanner kept being mentioned and I loved the name.

I like all of them except Robyn and delilah. Double barrel names can be lovely one of my girls has a db name. As for your question I love the name Elsie I think it's really pretty :) love both of your boys names BTW esp Noah wanted to call our son that but dh didn't like it. X

Loooove Elsie. We chose between Elsie and Ada and decided on Ada.
I'd still use the name Elsie in a heartbeat though. I think it's sweet and girly.

Yes. Nice - Elsie

Very interesting responses. Mixed bag so far!
Oh boy, why are girls names so difficult?!
Really struggling to find a girls name as much as Noah and Jacob.

Love Elsie and was considering it for DC2 before we knew he was a boy. Also love Connie.

I think there was a thread a couple of weeks ago comparing Elsie versus Elise. Just swapping those two letters around in the middle makes a huge difference.

Just been having a think about names and also like Heidi, Freya and Bonnie. Hmm..... just desperately trying to find "the one"!! Its killing me!!

Another name I considered is Georgia. But wasn't sure if that's been done a bit much over the years. Did think about Georgiana for a prettier feel but strikes me as a very long name then. Hmmmmm So confused!

I know it's been fashionable for years now, but Elsie reminds me of my granny and makes me think of little old ladies. There are so many more attractive names.

Love Elsie!

I have an Elsie-Rose so mumsnet hates my name choices 😂 Elsie is lovely in my opinion (obviously) and goes lovely with Noah, I have an Oliver.

I agree Georgiana is too long and frilly

The bible stuff with Delilah wouldn't bother me at all tbh @VintageGirl89
Bet the Jacob heel thing didnt put you off the name - who cares!
Delilah is a good choice as so many nickname options. But I love Elsie too and loads of your other choices.

I don't mind Elsie but I love the name Robyn.

Elsie is definitely popular, I know 3 under 7.
