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!

😂😂😂

No. It looks like someone sat on a computer keyboard and typed a jumble of letters by accident.

😂😂😂😂 this is a joke, right?

Oh god. Don’t let him persuade you.

Elsy, Elsee, Elcie all make sense and are younique but at least won't cause too much bullying/confusion.

My DD had a friend called Roobeigh.
How ridiculous does that look

😂

There’s nothing wrong with unique spellings provided you can see what the name is and never in a million years would I have picked that out as Elsie. If he wants to be creative with the spelling there’s always. Elsee. Elsey. Elsea or Elcee.

Pretentious? Moi? Call the dear child that with that spelling and it's in for a world of unwelcome mickey-taking as it grows up, and on into adulthood. No way.

I know a child with one of these alternatives, even that makes me a little 😬

Withdraw his naming rights, and then defenestrate him. Then name the baby yourself.

There was a boy at the school where I used to work who was called Maxx - when I first had to write it down I actually said to him 'oh, like the shop'? 😂

Please tell me he’s normally not insane.

Heck no.It's awful

Yuk no! That said, we have an Elsie in our house, except it's spelt LC (for Leicester City the football team, not the town!). Oh, and she's a cat.

Totally ridiculous

Sounds like you coughed, OP 😅

It's not as pretty as Epponnee-Rae though.

No! 😂

It might be my eyes but I see Boobeigh

The only alternative that's not ridiculous is Elsy

Dafuq

Even that is silly.

Oh stopit 🤣 it's Elsie no alternative 🙄

Natasha.

This made me choke on my chocolate!

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Thanks for the chuckle this morning, OP! I needed it. Glad to know your child won't be saddled with that alternate spelling!
