We have decided to call her Elsie, which is a short-form of Elizabeth, which (according to always unreliable baby names websites) means “consecrated to God”. Welcome to the world! By the way, we are now back home…

Congratulations! It’s good that your prayer is answered that you delivered after 4th study had finished.
According to the Online Bible, Elizabeth (John the Baptist’s mother / Aaron’s wife) means “my God has sworn” or “God is an oath” or “oath of God”… any Hebrews / Greek specialist???
