Can Elsie be short for Elizabeth? I love the name Elsie but would prefer to have a more formal name on the birth certificate.

Question

Answer

It's a little bit of a stretch, but can work. You could also do Elisabeth to match it a little better. Chelsie is another option.

Answer

My daughter goes by Elsie, and her proper name is Elspeth - the Scottish version of Elizabeth!

Answer

Any name can be a nickname so yes

Answer

Eloise
Elisa
Elsie is a great name.

Answer

I think a different long name for that nickname might fit better. Maybe Kelsey, Chelsea, Eloise, Elsa...

Answer

I love that! I have the same dilemma — love Elsie but don’t love that as a formal name.

Answer

I think Elise is very pretty on it’s own! If you love it just use it! No point in having a name kind of like just to call her a name you love!
