Thanks for all the responses. I'm actually surprised that nobody has said it would be a cruel thing to do to your little girl. Are you sure? By the way, my husband also thought A.L.F. was worse than E.L.F.

Tolkien people would love initials like that

I think it depends which people she will walk among.
As I said, in Tolkien circles and the like such a name is simply a winner!

"Look!" (said Legolas the elf)
"Look at what?" said Gimli (the dwarf)
"There in the trees"
"Where? I have not elf-eyes"
"Hush! speak more softly! Look!" said Legolas pointing. "Down in the wood, back in the way that we have just come. It is he.
Cannot you see him, passing from tree to tree?"
"I see, I see him now" hissed Gimili.
(J.J.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings, Chapter: The white rider)

I always wanted to come up with cool words out of intials but I could never come up with a name that I liked. I have a friends whoes intails almost spell his name. If his mother gave him two middle names his intials would of spelt JOSH . But otherwise it is just JSH. Joshua Shane Helgeson is all she did. Oh well it would of been cool!

"ELF" is kinda cute for a girl. Just don't make her initials "ALF".

I use my initials a lot! But, I think that is because I really like my middle name. I have a friend whose initials spell out MAD. She sort of likes this because it makes her unique. And, just think if your kid is short ELF might turn into a nickname.
