HelpRe: Essie
in reply to a message by Mareasi
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.
