  1. I hope I catch up to Bill again; & I still get a chance to sing up there; like he asked me; a while back; if I have a boy; I may decide between either “Glenn Lindy Keyes;” or “Bill Lindy Keyes;” If I have a girl; “Elsie Renata Keyes!” (he was nice to ask me to sing up at the Mall; a while back; but right now; I don’t feel is a good time-frame just yet; (not cause I don’t trust my singing ability; but things I need to sort out fust.)

  2. “Can implatation bleeding be both in-between red & pink? (My deal’s been on the half-&-half since October back in 2019. (I don’t think I’ve been doing it as far back as I fust thought; I think I’m in the early stages of pregnancy since November;) cause even Bill (a good friend of mine that used to work at “Know the Knew BookStore;” now he works at “Good-Will) thought I was pregnant little-bit earlier than that; (back in August); but I knew that wasn’t that far back; cause I had my deal few weeks before that. I think he’s right about me being pregnant; though. Beth

  3. Dehydration wise; it’s seems like I’m having a boy; but feeling my pregnancy more & more; I’m wondering if I’m getting ready to have a girl: (it feels more & more upper!) I think I got twins in me: a boy (A Glenn Lindy Keyes;) & a girl: (Elsie Renata Keyes.) Beth

  4. When I first read the quiz; I was first thinking “boy”; (Glenn Lindy Keyes;) salty cravings; low belly; & no nausea; but the last couple times I looked in the mirror; it’s starting to seem more like a girl; looking more upper; (I’m thinking Elsie Renata Keyes” if it’s a girl; (I also had some marshmallow cravings; so it could still be either or maybe even twins; a boy & a girl. So we’ll wait & see. (Either one’s fine). Beth

  5. Also; what I’m thinking if I have a girl; (though I think I agree with this link I’m think I’m getting ready have a boy; but if it’s a girl; I’m thinking either “Elsie Renata Keyes” (especially after I found out what it meant: “God is my oath” & “Reborn” on Renata”); (Elsie; after my friend; Elsa & Renata from that show I grown to love; “Friar”.

  6. My name is Elsie and I was born in 1999 and live in the U.K.. I was the only Elsie my teachers had taught, and the only Elsie in all of my schools. I have always gotten compliments on my name which I like, but one thing that does annoy me is the amount of people who misspell it or pronounce it as “Elise“.

  7. We named Elsie after my grandmother who was an amazing woman in my life growing up and who died because of cancer when I was 13.
