All pretty names btw :)

Indith · 28/05/2013 20:38

you know you don't have to decide until after she is born right? You've never met this little person before, take your time, don't worry about having "wobbles". Wobbles are normal, naming a whole entire human for the rest of their life is a pretty big thing. So wait and meet her, spend some time with her, you will soon see what suits her best.

Love Esme. You can call her Ez for short. Felicity is lovely too but a bit too much of a mouthful for me!

LynetteScavo · 28/05/2013 20:33

Felicity Rose.

or

Esme Rose

iheartshoes · 28/05/2013 20:30

Felicity Rose is gorgeous, very pretty and not too popular

miffybun73 · 28/05/2013 20:29

Felicity Rose or Esme Rose :)

JamieandtheMagicTorch · 28/05/2013 20:12

Felicity

I like Lissy as a NN too

Astley · 28/05/2013 18:42

Felicity Rose.

Nn could be Lissie.

LadyBeagleEyes · 28/05/2013 18:04

I like Felicity Rose.
Fliss is a nice shortening of it.

Hazelbrowneyes · 28/05/2013 17:46

Felicity would be my choice.

Alisvolatpropiis · 28/05/2013 17:42

Oooh that's more difficult.

I do like the Es-may pronounciation a lot.

Maybe Felicity Esme if you wanted to use both? Or Esme Felicity even?

I think Felicity is slightly more unusual but to be fair I've only ever met two Esme's,one who would now be in her early 20's and another who would be around 4 (and parents pronounce it Es-mee)

I'm really torn as Dh vetoed felicity early on but has decided he now loves it and still loves esmé so is leaving it up to me to choose.

If I chose Esmé i would pronounce it Es-may x

Felicity Rose is lovely.

As would Esme Rose be. How are you planning to pronounce Esme?

Littleolivetree · 28/05/2013 10:46

Esme would be too fashionable for me. Really like felicity though. It sounds like you want us to say esme. I would go with your heart over advice from MN!

Snazzywaitingforsummer · 28/05/2013 10:40

Felicity is nice. NN Flick gets used quite a bit.

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 28/05/2013 10:40

Fliss, Flick and recently, Fizz.

seeker · 28/05/2013 10:35

Wait and see what nickname arises. I know a Liss- she made it up herself when she was about 5.

PicardyThird · 28/05/2013 10:35

Definitely go for Felicity Rose - a lot prettier and more classic than Esme Scarlett.

Felicity could be Fliss, Lissy, whatever you wanted really.

NeedSomeSun142 · 28/05/2013 10:29

fliss? I like felicity rose personally

Felicity Rose.

JojoMags · 28/05/2013 10:07

Don't like Scarlett, so Felicity Rose, or Esme Rose. Esme Rose, if it was up to me (and would pn it Ez-may).

diddl · 28/05/2013 07:57

Felicity Scarlett!

MrsTerryPratchett · 28/05/2013 03:15

I love Esme. But then I would being MrsTerryPratchett. Grin

LifeIsBetterInFlipFlops · 27/05/2013 23:51
