I have 3 daughters and would like some advice in case I have a 4th. We have an E theme and it runs in our nn’s as well. [name]Evangeline[/name] [name]Sophia[/name] ([name]Eva[/name]), [name]Emmerson[/name] [name]Paige[/name] ([name]Emme[/name]) and [name]Electa[/name] [name]Seraphine[/name] ([name]Ellie[/name]). What would I name my 4th? Of the 3 names [name]Emmerson[/name] [name]Paige[/name] is my least favorite (although I still love it). I really like the feminine sound of the [name]Sophia[/name] in [name]Eva[/name]'s name and the [name]Seraphine[/name] in [name]Ellie[/name]'s. I think these names will look beautiful on wedding invites one day. Thoughts/Suggestions?
[name]Evangeline[/name], [name]Emmerson[/name] and [name]Electa[/name] are so distinctive together! Here’s a few “E” first name/nickname ideas for a fourth daughter:
[name]Edith[/name] (nickname [name]Edie[/name])
[name]Estelle[/name] or [name]Estella[/name] or [name]Estrella[/name] (nickname [name]Essie[/name] or Estée)
Etiennette or [name]Evette[/name] (nickname [name]Etta[/name])
I really like esrever88’s suggestion of [name]Estelle[/name], and I like [name]Eden[/name] (my name but I think it works well here) nn [name]Edie[/name]!
I agree with [name]Estelle[/name]. I think it would flow beautifully with your other girls names. [name]Edie[/name] is one of my favorite nicknames but I feel like [name]Edith[/name] & [name]Eden[/name] aren’t feminine enough.
I really like the suggestion of Etiennette 
I would do and E FN and P MN to keep the pattern ES, EP, ES, EP. I also think a longer FN would fit in better.

First names: [name]Emilie[/name]? [name]Eloise[/name]? [name]Elodie[/name]?
Middle names: [name]Scarlett[/name]? [name]Selena[/name]? [name]Sienna[/name]?
I do love [name]Eleanor[/name]/[name]Eleanora[/name], but then you have another ‘[name]El[/name]-’ nickname?
My first thought was [name]Edith[/name] or [name]Eden[/name], nn [name]Edie[/name]. [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Edie[/name]!!
I did think of the French name Eponine, which I think is very feminine and pretty (it is a derivative of the name Epona, in case you like that better, btw!).
Some others:
[name]Esmeralda[/name]
[name]Eowyn[/name]
Eirlys
[name]Edana[/name]
[name]Evanthe[/name]
[name]Etta[/name]
[name]Evadne[/name]
[name]Esther[/name]
[name]Estelle[/name]/[name]Estella[/name]
[name]Eulalie[/name]/[name]Eulalia[/name]
[name]Etoile[/name]
Best,
[name]Leslie[/name]
[name]Edith[/name] (nn [name]Edie[/name])
[name]Estella[/name] (nn Este or even [name]Etta[/name]?)
What about a name that would work with [name]Effie[/name] as a nickname? I’d have to think up some [name]Effie[/name] names.
I think [name]Edith[/name] [name]Juliet[/name] and [name]Estella[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] would also be lovely on wedding invitations Come to think of it, that’s some good naming criteria!
Out of curiosity - what would you name a son?
what about [name]Euphemia[/name]?
Trying to stay away from [name]Emmy[/name] and [name]Ellie[/name] nicknames.
[name]Esmeralda[/name]
[name]Esther[/name]
[name]Emmanuelle[/name]
[name]Ekaterina[/name]
[name]Emerald[/name]
[name]Eartha[/name]
[name]Ebony[/name]
Funny thing but just yesterday, I came across an Elowen, which I promptly googled. The name means ‘[name]Elm[/name]’. She goes by Lo (and because she’s a tween, I got to see her carry off this nn very well. [name]Calm[/name] spirit but very sharp. Actually quite witty for a 13 yr old, I thought)… but online, some other people suggest [name]Winnie[/name] or [name]Wynn[/name]. If you need a nn that begins with an E, how about [name]Ernie[/name]?
Also, how about Edelweiss? You can get Weiss, [name]Edie[/name], [name]Della[/name].
Edelweiss [name]Aurore[/name].
Edelweiss [name]Marie[/name].
Other pretty middle names that I imagine look great on wedding invites: [name]Sonia[/name], [name]Noemie[/name], [name]Camellia[/name], [name]Odette[/name], [name]Honore[/name], [name]Rosemary[/name], [name]Philippa[/name]…
Lots of good suggestions!! I think my fave nn is Effie, my husbands great grandmother was an Effie but I haven’t seen any longer names I like that go w/ it. I was thinking we could get to the ff sound w/ a ph name? Any suggestions?
Someone asked about boy names. We don’t feel like a boy has to have an e name but I like Edison or Everett was my dad’s mn. I don’t even try to think about boy names because we will never agree on one. Boys are too hard to name!! We have 2 men in our genealogy w/ Valentine either has a first or mn and I would like to use that as a mn but my husband would never agree. My ggrandpa had a brother named Valentine Monroe Arbuckle, what a great name!!!
Thanks for the help!!
Originally, [name]Effie[/name] was the nickname for [name]Euphemia[/name]. Not too many “E” names with a “ph” - only 15 on Nameberry, actually! Besides [name]Euphemia[/name], there’s its French variation Euphème, along with [name]Estephania[/name] and [name]Epiphany[/name] - the rest seem pretty unusable to me.
[name]Epiphany[/name] reminded me of another nickname possibility - [name]Eppie[/name]. Could also be short for the lovely Eponine.
