If I like Esme, what else would you suggest?

Girl Names
1

I thought we made great progress, but have been around so many family and friends the past few days and talking baby names that my husband and I are having second thoughts. I love [name_f]Esme[/name_f], he likes it. He loves [name_f]Margot[/name_f], I like it.

We are throwing [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] back onto the list, and [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] is in light pencil because he likes it, I am not a fan of the nicknames [name_u]Lex[/name_u], [name_u]Lexi[/name_u], [name_u]Alex[/name_u] or [name_f]Sandra[/name_f].

[name_f]Do[/name_f] any of these names make you think of others?

Names we’ve eliminated for one reason or another that we like (friends have used them or they don’t work with our last name) include [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_u]Teagan[/name_u], [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Madeline[/name_f], [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], [name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], [name_f]Nora[/name_f], and [name_f]Annabel[/name_f].

Other random names I like but won’t use are [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_u]Brooke[/name_u], [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_u]Hadley[/name_u], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Cressida[/name_f].

Thoughts?

I really like Esmé! If you love it you should use it. Sometimes it is best not to discuss your name choices with family and friends because their opinions make us second guess our choices and you may toss a name and then experience name regret. Everyone has their own favourites and that’s okay, but this is your child to name.

I like [name_f]Esme[/name_f]. If you and your husband love it and think that it is the name, don’t let your family influence you. It’s not their baby to name! If you are second-guessing because of other reasons, I think that [name_f]Margot[/name_f] {nickname [name_f]Meg[/name_f]?} is a great choice too. I also love the suggestions of [name_f]Mara[/name_f], [name_f]Juno[/name_f], [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f], [name_f]Viola[/name_f], and [name_f]Enya[/name_f]. Others:
