In 2025, 1,700 babies in England and Wales were named Elsie. In the US, 1,077 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold. Its US peak was 5,194 in 1918.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Elsie was most common in 1895, when it went to 0.73% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
