[Opinions] Re: Elsa
in reply to a message by Lily8
I am excited to hear the positive messages about the name Elsa. We are torn between using Elisabeth (hard to say fast and a name used by two in-laws already) or Elsa. We've been lately leaning toward Elsa because it's only two syllables and because its unused in the family. Opinions?

Elsa Johanna
Elsa Catherine / Cathleen
Elsa Margaret / Margot
Elsa Jessamine
Elsa Caroline (of course)
Elsa Meadow

Elsa Grace
Elsa Bridget
Elsa Gwendolen
Elsa JosephineI could go on and on. Are you interested in hearing more? Or have you already settled on a mn?

Keep the Elsa middle names comin'. Right now I am loving Elsa Margaret, but I 'd love to hear what else you can come up with. We are on the fence between Elsa and Elisabeth. I think I may prefer Elsa because it eliminates nickname options that come with the longer Elisabeth, but because it is so much shorter, I need different middle names for Elsa.

I prefer Elsa. You could also name her Elisabeth and nickname her Elsa. I think I prefer Elsa on its own, though. It has such a nice sound and isn't so long and not so common. Elisabeth is beautiful but very popular. The thing is that you get many nicknames from Elisabeth: Liz, Lisa, Beth, Betty, Elisa, Ellie, Lily etc which is nice and you just get Elsie from Elsa. Still I would go with Elsa :)
