Help[Opinions] Elsie or Mabel
Considering baby 4, I love both Elsie & Mabel (both family names on hubby's side).
We would likely use Rose or Anne (also both family names) as a middle name. Other suggestions welcome we prefer older names but easy to say & spell.
Siblings Amy-Louise (goes by Amy or Louie), Thomas (just Thomas) & Toby. Last name sounds like Picture.

I love both names, you can’t go wrong with either. I actually know a girl named Elsie Rose, Rose was after her grandmother or great grandmother. Mabel Rose would be beautiful too.

Both are lovely! I prefer Mabel as it’s one of my favourite names. Elsie is nice, but I like it more as a nickname for Elspeth, and it’s really popular right now. My favourite combo is Mabel Rose.

Ada
Beatrice
Beatrix
Bridget
Catherine
Charlotte
Clara
Clementine
Cora

Edith
Eliza
Esme
Harriet

I love Elspeth and I had it on my list for both boys but hubby doesn't like it.
A lot of those names I either can't use or are on my longer list. I will go through them all and add ones to my list.

Rosanne is one I would consider and is on the longer list. I'm not 100% if we are going to use a hyphenated first name like Amy.

I think the best combo would be Mabel Rose. I think it’s a lot prettier than Mabel Anne.
Personally, I don’t like Elsie because it’s too reminiscent of Elsa and feels too nicknamey. I’d prefer Elise. Ultimately though, it’s your choice not mine.
Some suggestions (could be either middle or first):
Elizabeth
Elise
Mary
Grace
June
Vera
April
Cora
Evelyn
Ruth
Iris
Violet
Beatrice
Alice
Lilith
Ruby
Joy
Charlotte
Caroline

Thank you. Elise I've never really liked.
A lot of those names I can't use I have a big family and most of the kids are girls.
Vera I love Vera Elsie is the name of a family member I think Vera is slightly too old fashioned sounding. Which is why we were considering Elsie instead of Vera.
I like Evelyn it was going to be Toby's name if he was a girl.
