I’ve only got a couple of weeks to go. My husband and I can’t agree on names! We’re having a girl.
My fav has always been [name]Elsie[/name]. He is starting to come round! What do people think of it? Everyone I’ve asked hates it!
We also like [name]Rosie[/name].
Other ideas???
[name]Elsie[/name] doesn’t do anything for me. Sorry! It’s just that whenever I hear [name]Elsie[/name], I either see a cow or a milkmaid/country bumpkin. It’s not a name I can take seriously.
Others like [name]Elsie[/name]:
[name]Elodie[/name]
[name]Eloise[/name]
[name]Elise[/name]/[name]Elyse[/name]
[name]Clara[/name]
[name]Grace[/name]
[name]Amelia[/name]
[name]Iris[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Sadie[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name]
[name]Rosie[/name] is very pretty, but I’d give my daughter a longer more substantial name so she can have a “grown up name” that will look better on a resume.
[name]Rosabelle[/name]
[name]Rosalie[/name]
[name]Rose[/name]
[name]Rosemarie[/name]
[name]Rosemary[/name]
[name]Rosamund[/name]/[name]Rosamond[/name]
[name]Rosalind[/name]
[name]Rosaline[/name]
[name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Rachel[/name]
[name]Lily[/name]
[name]Dahlia[/name]
[name]Sophie[/name]
[name]Hannah[/name]
Okay, so [name]Elsie[/name] is Germanic nn for [name]Elizabeth[/name]/[name]Elisabeth[/name]. So try [name]Elspeth[/name], [name]Elsa[/name], [name]Ilka[/name], [name]Elka[/name], [name]Eliza[/name], [name]Elise[/name], [name]Elisa[/name], [name]Liesel[/name], [name]Lise[/name], [name]Lisette[/name], [name]Eilis[/name], [name]Isa[/name]. I don’t know that many people know about [name]Elsie[/name] [name]Borden[/name] anymore.
My 2 year old is called [name]Elsie[/name], and I absolutely love it as a girls name! If you and your husband like it, thats all that matters. Good luck!
I Had a great Aunt [name]Elsie[/name], so I picture someone older. I am starting to meet little girls from my son’s preschool and play group with the name, so i am getting used to it on children (The one i’m thinking of is cute and the mom is stylish). Seems like a lot of people like [name]Alice[/name] and a few other names that I think of when I hear [name]Elsie[/name]. It does have a country feel to it.
When I hear [name]Elsie[/name], I immediately think of a cow or an overweight matronly farm girl. I love [name]Elsa[/name] though.
I love [name]Elsie[/name]! I am so shocked to hear that so many people picture milk maids, I can’t understand why! [name]Elsie[/name] is a family name for me as a nickname for [name]Eleanor[/name]. [name]Eleanor[/name] in itself is great because it has so many nickname options. I also like [name]Elsie[/name] as a nickname for [name]Elspeth[/name] which is so pretty. I also think [name]Elsie[/name] is fine on its own. I much prefer it to [name]Rosie[/name] which I honestly don’t like at all. I have never cared for the name [name]Rose[/name].
