Elsie has been the name of the Borden dairy product mascot, a cow, for like sixty or seventy years - she's a cartoon as far as I know, but so prominently featured on packaging and in advertising, for so long, that most Americans have a pretty solid association. I can picture the logo in my head, even, and I have never taken the slightest interest in it. It just got into my head the way those things will. And when I hear Elsie, I think dairy cow...
When someone suggested it'd become popular soon I actually laughed at first. But I realized that although Elsie is a cow's name to me, it's also a suitable and cute name for a person, regardless.
I doubt that Borden's cow could keep us from using the name Elsa for much longer, if its time has come .. I just think it'd keep it from getting as popular as it will probably get elsewhere.
