I love Elsie, not sure about Elspeth.

I was also wondering how to say it. How is it pronounced? I like the look of it though.

 

[Pyrrhic]

apparently Elsa can be a nickname too.

Its said very much as it's written

Elle-speth (but it runs together smoother than that)

It's a Scottish name. Dont know how else to describe how to pronounce it.

 

[Tegans Mama]

I actually like that. Its different.

hey my friend is called Elspeth (were in scotland so makes sense you mentioned its scottish lol!) anyway i only found out after knowing her for nearly a year her name was elspeth. Iv always called her Joy Which is her middle name. basically she hates it that much she has everyone call her by her middle name i have to admit too im not keen on it but i do like elsie

I love it!!! I read a book (The Belonging Place by Jean Little) when I was little and that's the name of the little girl in the book! It could have actually been Elspet.. but I think it's pretty much the same name, no? I love it both ways though. I'm a fan of E names BTW

 

[RubyRainbows]

I prefer Elsie... has a prettier flow...

Not for me. Makes me think of primitive medicine. Dont know why

I like the name Elspeth a lot ~ I am kinda into quite oldy fashioned sort of names as a rule though. I have a really good friend called Elspeth and most people tend to shorten it to Eppie.

I know a little girl who is christened Elspeth, it's a lovely name. You can shorten it to Ellie as well x

Love love love it!
Unfortunately I know one person called it and it would remind me of them too much. I need to meet some other people called it really..

Ooooh! Really like Elspeth! If I hadn't already settled on Esmé for a girl then Elspeth would definitely be a contender!
