[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! 
Please read, we do not want any suggestions. Please keep that in mind while you are answering
Does the name [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] Saying sound too singsongy? Our last name is pretty much exactly like the word āsayingā and weāre worried the S sounds clash. Thoughts? We have some other āback-upā names but weāre really loving [name_f]Elsie[/name_f]! (no suggestions, please)
Personally, I would avoid an name with an āsā in it and the combo is too lispy. [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] Saying would be better.
Thatās what we were worried about. We donāt like [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], sorry. Weāre not really looking for suggestions either, as said, we have āback-upsā that we like. We just wanted to get an outside opinion of [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] before we have to look at our other names as more serious contenders
No, it reminds me of [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] Goulding so if she turns out to be a singer she already has a good name for the job!
Iām with @mischa that itās a bit lispy. I think a fuller name (like [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] or [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]) would be better, but if you donāt want suggestions, then Iām going to have to go with no. I think [name_f]Elsie[/name_f]'s a wee bit cutesy for a full name, too, but I know not everyone agrees with me.
It does seem like a little too much alliteration / consonance / assonance? in there, but you should take time to think it over - maybe with the difference in your actual last name it isnāt as noticeable. What about [name_f]Elsa[/name_f], using [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] as a NN? Then you have the repeating Sās but not paired with the repeating vowel sounds, making it complementary as opposed to too matchy?
I second this
This is exactly what I think ^ . However, if you [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] and are sure [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] is the one, go for it. Sheāll go by [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] 80% of the time and [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] Saying 15% of the time, and [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] MN Saying 5% of the time. If you love [name_f]Elsie[/name_f], donāt worry too much about the pairing.
We donāt like [name_f]Elsa[/name_f] or [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]. Again, please do not give suggestions. I understand you are trying to help but weāve already said we donāt want suggestions. We just like [name_f]Elsie[/name_f]; nothing longer and no variant. We have other names that we could fall back on but we wanted to see if [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] could work before we have to go to our list of āback-upsā
It reminds me of a t.v. show like [name_u]Chelsea[/name_u] Lately.
I am not really into the so old-fashioned yet ironically trendy names but it sounds like you feel strongly about the name and almost made up your decision anyway. Go with your gut feeling.
I donāt like [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] Saying 
I know you donāt want suggestions, but [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] or even [name_f]Elsa[/name_f] Saying sounds better.
We do feel strongly about the name as it is our favorite choice, yes, but we havenāt officially made up our minds. Weād love to use [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] but if it sounds horrible with our last name, then weāll drop it since flow is important to us.
We seriously do not want suggestions, please keep them to yourself. Sorry to seem rude but we really arenāt interested in other forms of [name_f]Elsie[/name_f]. We only like [name_f]Elsie[/name_f]. If the general opinion is a no (which it does seem like) we will look into our āback-upsā a little more seriously.
If [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] is far and away your top choice, I see nothing so prohibitive that [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] Saying canāt happen. If I say it in a sentence without looking for a problem with it, like ā[name_f]Elsie[/name_f] Saying to the principalās office,ā or ā[name_f]Elsie[/name_f] Saying is here for the 9:30 interview,ā it seems fine.
I liked the previous comment breaking down how people will just call her [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] a lot of the time (situations where people use first and last: roll call, receptionists, introductions, differentiation from another [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] - but sheāll usually be the only [name_f]Elsie[/name_f]). If you plan to use her middle a lot that breaks it down even further: [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] Saying (to use a placeholder MN) isnāt singsongy.
Iād worry a bit more about it running together - the see-say part. But I wouldnāt worry much. Also if thereās even one more consonant sound in your real LN, it is a lot less repetitive: [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] Sayling, [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] Sathing, eg.
I donāt really think it sounds too lispy. The sharp āieā sound separates the S sounds enough that I still think it has nice flow. And as others have said, she will rarely be called by her full name. Plus she may not be ā[name_f]Elsie[/name_f] Sayingā her whole life if she marries (although she may also just keep her own name or never get married). So if you love the name, then go for it.
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f] Saying is kind of lispy yes but I donāt think that should prohibit you from using it.
[name_f]My[/name_f] first name has a strong n sound and my married last name has two n sounds, the combo is a mouth-full but 1)[name_f]My[/name_f] first and last names arenāt actually said together all that often and 2)I think I might be the only one who has ever noticed that my full name is a bit clunky.
If I were you I would go with [name_f]Elsie[/name_f].
I think itās a little tongue twister like but itās not exactly a deal breaker. She will likely get married one day and even if you pick a safe name with youāre last name or might clash with her spouses surname. I say pick whichever name you love the most and fits right.
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f] is a lovely name, I really like it. I donāt see a huge problem with a last name that sounds like Saying, itās a lot of āsā yes, but not in a way that it would be extremely annoying. If you love it go for it!
I donāt think there is anything horribly wrong with [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] Saying. To me, [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] is a bit too ānicknameyā, but it is not my child and therefore does not matter what I think. You seem to love it, so go for it!
Also, you could just ignore peopleās suggestions instead of coming across a tad angry. Everyone wins! 
The repetitive s-sounds are a little bit lispy, like others have said. I generally kind of like alliteration in names, but the s-sound is tricky. BUT by no means is it HORRIBLE. Iāve heard much MUCH worse before. If you love it, I think you should go for it. Weāre highly critical about names here, but I bet people wonāt even notice or care in real life.
[name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] Saying nn [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] would be the direction I would go, but [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] Saying isnāt too, too bad.
