Hi!

I have always loved the name Elsie for a girl, my middle name and my partners grandmother is Elizabeth so we have always wanted Elsie Elizabeth if we were to have a girl.
However I have just read somewhere that Elsie is short for Elizabeth? 🙈 I have never heard this before, now I’m annoyed because we wouldn’t be able to use Elizabeth as a middle name if this is the case!!
Has anyone else ever heard of this??

My mum is called Elsie...just Elsie... not short for anything else and she’s in her 80s
