Elsie

[Ellen35]

Please can I have opinions on this name? I like Lucy too but partner is not being swayed on that one because his mum has a dog called Lucy.

I love the name Elsie, it was the name I picked for ds ( but he was a boy), and my friends daughter is called this. If you like Lucy what about lucile.

I like the name Elsie.

Definitely having a revival. Both my 5 and 9 year olds have Elsies in their class. It was my grandma's name so I enjoy hearing it as it makes me think of her.

I really like it.

Love it.

I think it's lovely but know a few so if you want something more unusual it might not be the one.

We have some good friends who had an Elsie last year, and also know one in her 60s. Tbh it's not my favourite of the "old lady revival" names (a category I really like, generally) - I think it's the ie ending, which always feels more nickname-like to me and a bit lightweight for a given name. I prefer Elsa, though Frozen went and ruined that for me!

I like it.

If you're open to suggestions, I also adore Elspeth. Could be shortened to Elsie. It is the Scottish version of Elizabeth, (I think), so you could also shorten to Eliza, Betsy, Betty etc, at a push. Eliza definitely would be fine imo. Betsy and Betty maybe a stretch, but not way out there.

We have an Elspeth who we originally planned to nickname Elsie but it just didn't suit her, sounded too twee. It's a lovely name but may not suit all personalities

I really love Lucy though and would consider it for a 3rd daughter

Love this name

Not keen on Elsie but I like Elsa. I also like Bess.

Lucy is much nicer IMO.

My niece is Elsie, we love it!

I love Elsie as a nn for Elisabeth, less likely to date. Not so keen on Lucy but that's personal taste.

It’s nice for a baby but a bit cutesy for me.

Lucy is much, much nicer.

I like it.

Love Elsie
Also love Lucy too though

Eliza?

If ds had been a dd, one of the names we'd chosen was Elsa (after my granny). Hadn't decided whether first or middle - we were waiting until we saw what she "looked" like

It's a nice name for a little girl, but for an adult it's a bit cutesy - is it short for something? I guess it could be a nickname for Elizabeth.

Like it :)

I prefer Elise but completely different vibe

I prefer changing the letters round to Elise , bit unusual but quite classy.
