[Opinions] Essie
Do you think Essie could work as a nickname for Elspeth? I like both names and thought I could maybe link them? Not keen on Elsa, Elsie as a nickname for Elspeth and whilst I like Pethi not sure it would catch on lolThoughts?~ Always end the name of your child with a vowel, so that when you yell the name will carry ~

As I've mentioned on the board before, I'm an Elspeth who predominantly goes by Elsie. I think Essie could definitely work for Elspeth. I also think Pethi could catch on, I myself some times go by Peth (one example being my BTN username). I once tried to get Ethie/Effy to catch on as a nickname but it didn't take. However, I think that was mainly because I was a 13+ age and I was trying to impose it myself. I think if you were to use Pethi right from the get go it would certainly stick. Fun fact another nn I have is Spiffy, although it's more of a childhood one, it stems from my granny's mispronunciation of Elspeth (el-SPIFF) . Basically what I'm trying to say is that there are plenty of nicknames that work for Elspeth beyond Elsie and Ellie, and if you want them to work, they'll work.

I think it works. I like Elspeth and can see it being used, especially with such a sweet nickname.

Yes, I do think Essie could work for Elspeth. That's super cute, actually. Pethi is kind of neat, but also very close to 'pithy'. I would also like
El
Els
Espie

Nice. I feel it could also easily give way to Epsie. or Pepsi.

It's a bit of a stretch but could work.

I think, it goes well as a NN for Elspeth. And it's really much better than Elsie..

I think so.
I do prefer it as a nn for Esther, but yeah, it works.
And it's definitely better than Pethi!
