Trying to decide

My husband and I have narrowed our list down to two first names, but I can not decide between the two - there are things I like about both, but just can’t decide!!!

Jeslyn [name]Belle[/name]
or
[name]Estelle[/name] (nn [name]Stella[/name], [name]Ella[/name], [name]Ellie[/name])
[name]Estelle[/name] [name]Sierra[/name]
[name]Estelle[/name] [name]Anjali[/name]
[name]Estella[/name] [name]Mae[/name]
[name]Estelle[/name] [name]Laren[/name]
[name]Estelle[/name] [name]Corrinne[/name]

I don’t love the nn [name]Jess[/name] - which is my concern for Jeslyn. But Jeslyn [name]Belle[/name] is my husbands favorite. I think [name]Estelle[/name] is really pretty (definitely old fashioned, but cute and different). And I love the nicknames that can be used. Any thoughts???

I love [name]Estella[/name] and I definitely prefer the “a” on the end. I think [name]Estella[/name] [name]Mae[/name] is beautiful!

I love [name]Estelle[/name] [name]Mae[/name], nn [name]Ella[/name]! Very cute and vintage. Jeslyn is really trendy, imo, and not really my thing. What about [name]Jocelyn[/name] [name]Belle[/name]? It sounds really similar and it seems more French and girly to me. That way you could avoid [name]Jess[/name] as a nn, too–you could maybe use [name]Josie[/name] or [name]Joss[/name] as a nn?

Good luck!

I love [name]Estelle[/name] [name]Anjali[/name] or [name]Estelle[/name] [name]Corinne[/name]

[name]Estella[/name] [name]Mae[/name]

Another vote for [name]Estella[/name] [name]Mae[/name]! [name]Love[/name] all the possible nicknames too.

Hum. There are things I like and dislike about both. I like [name]Estelle[/name] because of it’s meaning, also, it reminds me of the wonderful [name]Estelle[/name] Getty :smiley: I like Jeslyn because of its feel.
I don’t like the option of [name]Estella[/name].
I think [name]Jessalyn[/name] would be better than Jeslyn… and I agree with a pp that it seems a bit trendy.

Overall I think I like [name]Estelle[/name] the best. It seems the most versatile and I think it is ready for a comeback :slight_smile:

Out of your mn options…
I dislike [name]Sierra[/name], [name]Anjali[/name], [name]Mae[/name].
[name]Laren[/name] is okay.
[name]Estelle[/name] [name]Corinne[/name] sounds nice to me. It still doesn’t thrill me, but that would be my pick.

[name]Estella[/name] [name]Poppy[/name]…that’s cute!
