Girl's Name - What do you think?

[Ilove]

Why call her Elspeth if you're going to call her Elsie? (Love Elsie btw)

Possibly so that the child can have a choice...Maybe when she's younger she will want a cutesy nickname like Elsie but when she grows up and is in her professional career, she will want to be called something more mature and "grown up" sounding?!

That's why I like more substantial names that can have cutesy nicknames, so that the child can decide what he/she wants to be called.

Yeah exactly

I find my full name so handy for formal situations...but consider my true name to be the shortened version. I wouldn't do so well in businessy situations with the name I use day to day, it's just far too informal, so although I don't like my full name so much I really appreciate it being there

I completely agree with this!

Ditto! This way the name can age. For example, I can easily see a baby Elsie, but have a tough time seeing an adult in the professional word with that name. Elspeth is a lovely compromise, and the nickname Elsie is adorable. I'm not so fond of Dew though. How about Drew instead? Or maybe Rue?
