Essie

What do you think of the name [name_f]Essie[/name_f]? Can it stand alone? I know it is typically a nickname for [name_f]Esther[/name_f] and/or [name_f]Estelle[/name_f], but my husband it’s much of a nickname person. He would rather name the baby what we are going to call her. Right now, we are liking [name_f]Essie[/name_f]. Thoughts?

I think it can stand alone. There are plenty of similar nickname-y names that people use on the birth certificate.

I think its super cute and also very unique, which is a rare find! If you both like it I think it could be a great choice :slight_smile:

My S/O and I are the same as your husband when it comes to nicknames, so I totally get wanting to just use [name_f]Essie[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Essie[/name_f] fits with nicknames like [name_f]Elsie[/name_f], [name_f]Lottie[/name_f], [name_f]Millie[/name_f], [name_f]Maisie[/name_f], etc. the ones that can stand alone on their own, and have history as names in their own right.

I really like it!
