Elza middle name
It's important for me to honor my late grandfather, James Elza. I would love to incorporate Elza into the middle name for a little girl. Beth, Mae, and Lee are all family names as well. My top 3 picks for Elza
Elzabeth - I know it's really similar to Elizabeth, but I'm hoping I can get by with it as a middle name.
Elzamae
ElzaleeMy top picks for first names
Molly ?
Callie ?
London ?
Emerson ? Also -
Margaret Elzamae, called Maggie Mae
Megan ElzabethAny other suggestions of how to best use Elza or any combos you all prefer?

Elzabeth would always be misspelled.
Elzamae isn't too bad.
Elzalee is the oddest and most interesting.
Personally I would rather use Elza by itself as a middle name. It's like Bell, it just works as a middle name for a girl and doesn't need embellishment.
If I were honoring a James Elza I'd probably name her Jamie.
I'm kind of neutral about combos here.
I like Callie but it does not combine with El-anything very well.
I think that, of these names, I'd go with Margaret Elza, or if I have to use a combined name with Elza, then Megan Elzalee sounds nice.

Eliza would be a similar choice but if your set on Elza then to be honest I'd go with Elza, not try and mash a new nameI like Molly best. I like Callie but it seems too informal to me for a full name. I'm not a fan of London or EmersonI like Margaret Elza. Nickname Maggie of Megan. Maggie Mae sounds trashy to me though like a stripped name. Sorry

Have you thought about maybe considering Demelza? It was the first name that came to mind when I saw Elza.

I have considered just sticking with Elza, and that's definitely a possibility. Maggie Mae definitely isn't a stripper name. Guess it is very Southern though so unless you're from the South, you wouldn't understand it. I absolutely despise the name Jamie so I chose to focus on honoring him with Elza. I couldn't think of anything else related to James. I also want to stick as close to the original as possible. Thanks for all your suggestions!
