Elsie?

[bekkaboo]

opinions please and do you know any babay elsies?

I know one who is about 18 months old. I think it says Elizabeth on her birth certificate but she's universally known as Elsie.

I'm not a fan but hey, it's not my baby.

Did you not hear me mention DILYS?!?!?!?!

Chose Dilys, chose Dilys chose Dilys.

Go on

I think it's adorable.

Hi not sure about Dilys, im not looking for an old name as such, its just that i like Elsie no other reason.

Well, it's there if you want it.

Elsie is loevly.

I think its lovely - also love Elsa and Eliza. We know one Elsie and I reckon she must be nearly 2

Thanks for all your responses, anyone else?

Elsie is adorable. I know a sweet little 4 yr old Elsie. I think Elsa is lovely too.
(Elsa was on my shortlist for DD)

I love Harriet prefer it to Elsie
what about Harriet Elsie??

Love both Oliver and Henry equally....

I reallly like it, but because I'm afraid it will date I'd put Elizabeth on the bc.

Much prefer Elsie to Harriet. Really can't bear Harriet. It's an unattractive sound.

nice but a bit coronation street.

I know two babies named Elsie born in the last 12 months. I really don't like it, sorry. It's taking the old lady name thing too far.

Elsie is really really sweet. I love Harriet, too.

I know a 3 year old Elsa but haven't heard Elsie make a comeback. I seem to remember the comedian Jim Davidson named his daughter Elsie - I remember this because I had an Aunt Elsie who always wore a headscarf and was really old fashioned and everything!

I like Elsie! Don't know any baby Elsie's there was/is one at work I think and I knew a budgie called it once.

I know a 3 year old Elsie - I think it's a lovely name

I know two Elsies born this year, both very sweet, seems to be becoming popular.

One of dd's middle names is elsie after her great nan.

So obviously, I like it.

Mil often calls her by her full name i.e. all three of her given names.

Elsie is lovely,

Please do not choose Dilys, Smileyspeople has never met the poor Dilys that I went to school with who was known to everyone as Dildo.

I know a 3yo and a 9yo Elsie. I don't think they get a hard time for it at all. They don't really stick out among all the Bettys and Adelaides.

My 5mth old is called Elsie Joan and James Morrison the singer named his little girl Elsie just a few moths ago.

Goes without saying I love the name and it never fails to get a reaction. Hope it doesn't become to popular though, half the joy of having a little Elsie is that there aren't that many around.

I know a 10yo Elsie.

I rather like the name.

Don't know if she gets teased about it but I know an Arthur of the same age (not her brother lol) and he certainly doesn't get any gip about his name.

Why would he in a playground full of Finns and Franks and Alfies and Archies?

Bekka I like Harriet as well (as in Harriet Vane, Peter Wimsey's love). WRT Henry vs Oliver, Oliver ime very popular (3 in DS2's yr of 22 boys).

My Elsie is 2.2!! I love it.

It's a bit of a marmite name though - people love it or HATE it.

Don't know any others, although my friend is a SALT and says she's had 3 at her clinic since I had my Elsie.

Elsie! v sweet. I also like Elsa that's mentioned.

If I were to have a dd Harriet would be my top choice actually.

Harry for a boy.
