Thoughts on...... Elsie

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.

Heidi, Freya, Bonnie, Georgia, Georgiana don’t really go with Noah and Jacob, if that bothers you.

@Whatsyourflava Nope. Didn't put me off at all!
I just don't know what goes and what sounds right. Noah and Jacob had their names as soon as I found out the gender. I feel wracked with guilt I cant think of a girls name I love equally as much.

Elsie shouts great aunt to me (but then so do a lot of names in fashion at the moment), but I did know a very chic French girl called Elsa, if that appeals? Also Georgiana is a great name (bit biased!)

Love Elsie and think it’d make a gorgeous combination with Noah x

Elsie is lovely - but to me a nickname. I'd choose Eloise, Elinor ect and call her Elsie for every day. Or Evelyn/Everlyn and have Evie?

I know a teenage Millie and a teenage Daisy - they both moan about their names and feel babyish compared to the sea of 'olivia's, isabells they are surrounded with.

Isabell is nice and can be Izzy or Bella

Noah and Jacob are both biblical so how about Hannah? Or as I've said - Evie/eve

Of your list I like Connie the best.

I like Elsie, but then again my Gran, Mum and sister are all called Elsie so I'm a bit biased!
