Thoughts on Elkie

[nomorelostweekends]

Title says it all really! we are struggling to agree on a name for DD2 and this is a grower..

My friend at work's daughter is Elkie. I think it's really nice.

sounds to me like a small Elk

I immediately think Elkie Brookes (shows my age!) and the large moose type creature.
But, then again, that's because you've asked me to think about it. I'm sure if I just heard the name, i wouldn't think either of those things!

Yes, i think elkie brookes is where i got it from! Have never heard anyone else with the same name so interesting that your friends daughter is Elkie, barcodezebra. We aren't trying to find anything particularly unusual, just one we agree on. DD has a very 'popular' name indeed. I hadn't really got the large moose type image until pointed out, but can see its kinda obvious really!

I know a 5 yr old Elka.

Elkie Brookes

Not a name. Elkie Brooks's real name is Elaine.

Elsa I like.

love it, love it, love it.

I really like it.

I also like Silke, but I don't like Sylvia. Silke is pronounced silky and is a german pet form of Sylvia (I think).

Baby, toddler, shy 12 year old, bolshie 15 year old, kick ass lawyer 25 year old, 35 year old SAHM, gracious 70 year old, frail 90 year old. Does the name fit all stages? If so, then yea, if not then no.

Pearl's a singer, da da da da

it sounds like a great name. for a calf.

Great point Seeker. I like it though!

I know a Silke "pronouced Silka" - she is German, lovely name

didn't Elkie Brooks do "Total eclipse of the heart" as well? Rhat's what came straight nto my head when I saw the thread title!

Sorry - not a nice name at all IMO

I know quite a few German Elkes (and Silkes). Elke in German is pronounced El-keh. Nice name!

I know a few Elkes, but not keen on the name.

Prefer Silke or Anya.

Total Eclipse of the Heart was Bonnie Tyler.

thanks botbot. Bonnie is an OK name

No it isn't!
