My girl name frontrunners keep changing but this week Esm”, [name]Juliet[/name] and [name]Josephine[/name] are at the top of the list. [name]Juliet[/name] and [name]Josephine[/name] flow better with our last name (starts with an E, 3 syllables, and has a distinct ‘ess’ sound in it the same as [name]Esme[/name]) but I still really love [name]Esme[/name].
Any advice would be appreciated?
I have been thinking about a ‘v’ middle name so that the initials are [name]EVE[/name] but perhaps that’s a stretch. My name style includes names like [name]Alice[/name], [name]Jane[/name], [name]Beatrice[/name], [name]Flora[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Greta[/name] and [name]Magdalene[/name].
Thanks for the suggestions. I like [name]Veronica[/name] as well as [name]Violet[/name] for ‘v’ names and am considering [name]Esme[/name] [name]Jane[/name].
I love [name]Esme[/name]!!
Since you have a 3 syl LN then a shorter FN like [name]Esme[/name] would be ideal…
I do like the suggestion of [name]Esme[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] for “[name]EVE[/name]” initials though since your LN as an “ss” sound like [name]Esme[/name] and [name]Josephine[/name] (which is also on top of the list) then i’d strongly suggest…
I like [name]Esme[/name], and I can tell you do, too. If you love it, just go for it! Ask around for how it sounds with your last name, as the only think I worry about is that your last name and [name]Esme[/name] might rhyme too much.
[name]Esme[/name] is a beautiful name. You said you liked [name]Alice[/name] so [name]Esme[/name] [name]Alice[/name] flows nicely. As for V names I can only think of a few, [name]Victoria[/name] and [name]Violet[/name] both very pretty though. [name]Madeleine[/name] is a lovely name as well. [name]Esme[/name] [name]Louise[/name] has a pretty rhythm to it.
I hope this helps.
So far I’ve narrowed it down to:
[name]Esme[/name] [name]Violet[/name]
[name]Esme[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Esme[/name] [name]Alice[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
Any favourites? [name]Both[/name] [name]Alice[/name] and [name]Jane[/name] are family names . . . do you find it clunky to include both as middle names?
I don’t find it clunky to use two middles at all, and I think the majority of people here at Nameberry will agree. It’s especially nice that you’re honoring your family!
Out of the three –
[name]Esme[/name] [name]Violet[/name]: I like this a lot!
[name]Esme[/name] [name]Jane[/name]: This is nice, very short, sweet, and balanced. I really like it!!
[name]Esme[/name] [name]Alice[/name] [name]Jane[/name]: This would probably be my favorite here, except for one thing: the names [name]Esme[/name] and [name]Alice[/name] are both associated with Twilight. I’m really hoping the whole Twilight craze will wear off soon, so I don’t know if this affects your decision or not…
Others: (very sorry for any repeats, they’re unintentional!)
[name]Esme[/name] [name]Antonia[/name]
[name]Esme[/name] [name]Lillian[/name]
[name]Esme[/name] [name]Virginia[/name]
[name]Esme[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Esme[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Esme[/name] [name]Annabel[/name]
I noticed in your first post you liked [name]Juliet[/name] (and [name]Josephine[/name], but I saw you wanted to save that)…I don’t know if this are still in the running, but it would make a really beautiful MN for [name]Esme[/name]!!
and I think using the initials to get ‘eve’ is a cute idea so some middle names
