Ehllsyie as an alternative spelling of Elsie.. Thoughts?

[saltedpopcorn2]

DP suggested it but I think it's awful! Look dreadful lol and would condemn our poor DD to a lifetime of having to say "it's same as Elsie but spelt.... ". Argh!

Why? Why would anyone do that?

Don't saddle a child with an "alternative" spelling.

Atrocious.

No no no 😂

Oh stopit 🤣 it's Elsie no alternative 🙄

Why? Just why?

Erm.. no. Why?

Elsie has a spelling. If he doesn't like the spelling, he doesn't really like the name.

I have a REALLY common 90s name, spelt differently. It's a pain in the arse. I've changed it officially on most things but a couple of things, like my original email, use the old spelling; and it just causes pointless trouble.

How did he come up with that?

No. No. No. absolutely awful. Looks awful. Would be incredibly annoying for you and child. Just no.

Ell-syee, with a ‘yuh’, though. Not Elsie. Terrible plan!

Haha, glad people agree with me on this!

Leave the bastard

🤣🤣 ridiculous! Assume he was winding you up?

😂
Other ridiculous alternatives are

LC
L-See
El-Sea
Elle-c
Elle-CEE

WTF???!!

Haha

If he thinks it’s a bit old fashioned Elyse is very similar?

Does your DP frequent r/tragedeigh/ ?

Has he had a knock to the head?!

How about Reetuh? Or Djuleeah? Or Rayetchell?

Or NO DH STOP IT!

Elsie is bad enough, but to spell it like that is just bonkers!

No, just no. Just imagine the poor child having to learn how to write their name , and it looks ridiculous .

Hellllll no

A hard no

It's quite charming, my dear.

No.
