Thoughts on Elsie 🩷

We don’t know what we are having but been a bit stuck on our girls list. We already have a girl, Isla. We are trying out Elsie which I think is really sweet and compliments well but a bit worried it’s still got connotations of someone very old and wondering how it fits as a name when in your teens/adulthood. We like that they are both short/vowel names but different sounds and Scottish heritage. Also like the nicknames -Elle/Eli. Any other suggestions welcome to go with Isla too. Our other top pick is more traditional Charlotte/Lottie. Otherwise quite stuck!

Oh also we’d like the middle name to be Ann which is a family tie. It doesn’t have to be Ann but it would be nice so Elsie Ann - does it go?

We’re going with Elsie! It’s a lovely name. Our grannies were Elsie and June so ours will be Elsie June - very old fashioned but names that last the test of time!

I love the traditional ā€˜old fashioned’ names. I teach a few Elsie’s too so it’s definitely becoming more popular again. Charlotte is more obvious but beautiful.

Thanks all - so lovely to hear others like it too and it’s not too uncommon/aged. I am a fan of traditional names. Also quite like Eliza but husband is less keen but likes Elsie. Charlotte is definitely a nice classic choice and always liked it but while Elsie seems to be getting more popular again, is still less popular than Charlotte. For now Elsie is sitting at the top of the list and looks like there will be a few girls called that in the new year 🩷
