Elsie

Me and the MIL are trying to convince DH on the name [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] even though no baby’s are due​:joy:. Is [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] too old fashioned (we have an [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] and Frederick) and any middle names? Anything we can convince DH to have baby 3 :joy:

I wouldn’t say it’s too old fashioned, but I do think it’s too nickname-y to go with brothers [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] and [name_m]Frederick[/name_m]. maybe [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] nn [name_f]Elsie[/name_f]?

I love [name_f]Elsie[/name_f], and I think it’s perfect with [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] & [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] – not too old fashioned at all, especially with it’s similarity to modern day favorites like [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]. Middle name ideas…

I really like it and think its the right amount of old fashioned to go with your boys. I do think a longer name nicknamed [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] would fit even better (Elizabeth, [name_f]Estelle[/name_f], [name_f]Eloise[/name_f], [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f], etc.). For middle I would go longer to balance the cuteness of [name_f]Elsie[/name_f]:
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f] [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f] [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f] [name_f]Francesca[/name_f]

Elsie can be a standalone for sure, but if you go for the longer Elisabeth, go for the S, not Z - think it works better for Elsie and looks prettier. :ribbon:

Eloise, Elsbeth or Elspeth are fab options.

Otherwise something like Leonore Charlotte “LC” or Elsie.
