Is naming our baby Elsa weird or strange??

[DisneyDru]

thank you guys so much for all the feedback, I hope to hear from more of you, we are going to find out the gender on Friday, which will make the name game a lot more fun!

Every time I hear the name Elsa I think of the lion.

I loved the movie, Born Free, as a kid. I can see why you think of her.

Joy Adamson came to our school to speak twice when I was young. It made a huge impression on me.

I have always loved the name Elsa and now I've taken it off our short list of girl names if we have another daughter. I think its cute yet it a grown woman can rock it as well. The association with Frozen unfortunately will make it extremely popular (along with Anna too).

If it bothers you, you could use the Scots spelling: Ailsa. Then you could tell people that she was named that because you're a curling fan!

The island of Ailsa Craig is actually very pretty; a small granite mountain that juts out of the Irish sea at the mouth of the Firth of Clyde, halfway between Belfast and Glasgow. It has been used as a navigation point since the Vikings, as you can see it for miles in any direction. Mostly it is a bird sanctuary these days, though it does have a working lighthouse and a crumbling 16th century stone tower fort. The island's modern novelty is the rock itself; as it is the only place in the world where you can find the special type of granite used to make curling stones.

As a girl's name, Ailsa has a small but steady popularity in the UK -- it tends to hover somewhere in the high 100's on the popularity list.

It's one thing to watch Frozen and think "Elsa, wow that's a pretty name. I like that name." It's a completely different ball game if you're all like "OMG!!! Frozen is the greatest movie EVER!!! I'm naming my kid Elsa, and her nursery will be blue and sliver with a stuffed Olaf in her crib..."

But it's your kid. Name it what you want. My only advice is make sure the monogram (and remember sometimes the last name goes in the middle) doesn't spell something obscene.

Elsa makes me picture a Swedish masseuse-- a rough one with man hands, but I haven't seen Frozen, yet.

I don't see a problem with it. Elsa is a pretty name. It may be popular when your child is in school, but as a Jessica who routinely had 3-4 others in every class I assure you it isn't that big of a deal.

I don't see the harm. It's not like you are naming her Katniss. That one I think is a bit far.

Cute name, but yeah, she may be "Elsa H." (or whatever) for the first eighteen years of her life, at least.

Maybe consider a variation? Elsie? Elisa?

If you like it go for it. I really liked Merida for my daughter who I am due with next month but hubby wasn't a fan

 

[JanaDee]

How about Elise instead?

DS had a teacher in high school who spelled her name Ilsa.
