I like it, but I read Paula Fox's autobiography in which Elsie was the name of the abusive mother. So I can't use it.

Elsie seems to nicknamey to me. I can't think what it's a nickname for, but I think it must have started out as one.I've always wanted to get a female German Shepherd, and I always planned to name her Elsie. I like it for a pet name, not so much for a person.

Wheee!I adore Elsie! It's so cute and nostalgic. I prefer Elsie as a nn for Elsa / Elspeth, but I'll take her any way she comes. Normally I don't care for repeated initials, but I love Enid and honoring is more important than flow / esthetics. Elsie and Arthur make an adorable duo. Congratulations!

I LOVE the name Elsie, I think it's cute and classic. It reminds me of the character Elsie Carr in the What Katy Did books.

Elsa is beautiful but Elsie is too nicknameish. It reminds me of Emmie. Nice as a nickname for Emmeline but not on its own. It's much better than many other names out there, though.

It's nice, but I prefer Elsa. Enid is ok, and I like Arthur.

my grandmother is called Elsie, and my aunts dog.I do see it as an older person's name, but i guess im biased!

Yeah, that's what we all think! But she couldn't really pick a modern name to go with Arthur! And names like Ruby and Mabel have become popular again, why not Elsie. :)
