What a beautiful name, lucky girl

Elsa Marianne is just beautiful Beanigan. Lucky girl she will be.

Elsa is beautiful.

I agree with the other posters about ditchign the accent on Marianne though -go Marianna or just Marianne and save her lots of future hassle! I prefer Marianna. Also the acute accent makes me think of French, and Marianne(acccute) would be prounounced Marianneh not Mariannah.

Thank you very much everyone! OK accented version of Marianne - general gist it's pretentios - fair enough....

My Gran was German so has no accent and makes complete sense to me now NOT to use it. Elsa Marianne it is.

Quite excited now - especially since my DH has just said 'oh whatever, call her that if you like!'

From one McGregor to another, Marianne McGregor sounds fantastic. Marianna McGregor even better. Elsa and Emma nice but popular.Good Luck

Elsa is ok. Friend of mine has just had a beautiful baby and called her Elva.....which i personally prefer to Elsa....

if you want her to be Elsa Mariann - a then i think an A at the end is the way to go...no accent.

Elsa is lovely, although it makes me want to sing "Born free"

To me, Ailsa is Alf Stewart's dead wife in Home & AWay. But then I am very sad.
Prefer Elsa (can't be doing with Emma)

Ailsa may be similar but IMO is frumpy, clumpy and has little charm.

Elsa has a sweet elegance about it and has more to offer than Emma which had its time (again) in the late 70's/early 80's so too early for a revival. Emma is actually more old fashioned in that respect than Elsa. In the same way that a Teasmade may be newer than a Victorian silver teapot but I know which one has more style.

Marianne with an accent (sorry don't know how to do it on the keyboard) is pretentious (sorry).

If you want Marianna then definitely put Marianna.

If you want Marianne said Marianna then just pronounce and spell, same as your Gran did

yes, ailsa is a much better name
