I was wondering is the name Elsie is a nn or a fn. It's also a family name but it is used as a first name. Haven't heard it in a while either. What about Priscilla and Paulina (in our history it's spelled Paulena). WDYT. Thanks.

I've always heard Elsie as a full name. I guess it could be a nn for Elsa too.

I like Priscilla, with nn Cilla. Paulina is okay, but dated. NN Lina would be cute though, and give it a more up to date feel.

I have always loved Pricilla for a girl, not sure if I would ever use it myself (mostly because Dh is not a fan), but I love it and I think it is beautiful!
