My gramma’s name was Elsie Caroline. She died 6 weeks after my daughter was born who is actually named after her. I didn’t have the guts to use Elsie though!…So my daughters name is Ella Caroline. Elsie is a really cute name though and I’m sure it will start being used a lot more here soon…old fashioned names seem to do that.

I do like some of the retro names, such as Violet, and I’m not as keen on this one but I still think it’s cute. I don’t know why, but I always get James Morrison confused with James Blunt and that’s who I thought this article was about at first, and I was thinking ‘woah, when did he have a baby?!’ lol. Great news and congratulations to the family!

My Grandma’s first name is Elsie, too! But she doesn’t like the name, and has always gone by her middle name.

Caitlin- That is way too weird and funny about your Grandparents names and Moms name being that of the three of them. I know in your case your Nanna is Elsie and your Mom is Gill so it’s flip flopped but still pretty cool!! Thanks for sharing that.

Added to that, my grandfather (Elsie’s husband) is James and my mother (their daughter) is Gillian-Gill for short.

My nanna’s name is Elsie. So I guess they were spot on with the ‘granny’ name!
