I think Essie as a nn for Elspeth is really cute =)

Oh my gosh, yes, Essie would be the cutest nickname for Elspeth!

As I've mentioned on the board before, I'm an Elspeth who predominantly goes by Elsie.

I think Essie could definitely work for Elspeth.

I also think Pethi could catch on, I myself some times go by Peth (one example being my BTN username). I once tried to get Ethie/Effy to catch on as a nickname but it didn't take. However, I think that was mainly because I was a 13+ age and I was trying to impose it myself. I think if you were to use Pethi right from the get go it would certainly stick.

Fun fact another nn I have is Spiffy, although it's more of a childhood one, it stems from my granny's mispronunciation of Elspeth (el-SPIFF) . Basically what I'm trying to say is that there are plenty of nicknames that work for Elspeth beyond Elsie and Ellie, and if you want them to work, they'll work.

I think it works. I like Elspeth and can see it being used, especially with such a sweet nickname.

Yes, I do think Essie could work for Elspeth. That's super cute, actually.

Pethi is kind of neat, but also very close to 'pithy'.

I would also like
El
Els
Espie

It's a bit of a stretch but could work.

Yep, definitely. I love Elspeth and Essie.

I think, it goes well as a NN for Elspeth. And it's really much better than Elsie..

I think so.
I do prefer it as a nn for Esther, but yeah, it works.
And it's definitely better than Pethi!
