[Opinions] Elspeth
WDYT of the name Elspeth? It's not a name that I would use, but it has managed to grow on me.

It's soft, like a whisper. Not a spelling or pronounciation found much in the US, so would create a lifetime of spelling and pronounciation issues for a US born child.

Its how a three year old relative of mine with a lisp pronounces her sister's name (Elizabeth)

I agree with you. I used to loathe it, but now I sort of like it (but would never use it). It's very pretty, but I do prefer Elisabeth.

I really like it. I think it is quirky in the right way, with the p there and all. It's very nice.

I adore it. I would likely use it as a mn to honor my late grandmother, Elsie.

Love, love, love it. Elsa, nn Elsie is one of my all time favorite names. Elspeth is not hard for me to love. The suprising "p" in there takes a little getting used to. But once you get over the initial "huh?" it does take root.

I love the name Elspeth! I also like Elsbeth but Elspeth is nicer. It would be a nice way of honoring an Elizabeth! :)I love Scottish names! I'd use it as a middle name but it would be nice as a first name. :) Image hosted by Photobucket.com
