Esme is on my radar as well for #3 that is due this year, I love the name and am having a hard time with a middle name as well. I prefer more vintage names...a few we are playing around with are;
Esme Violet
Esme Rose
Esme Noelle

"We call her Esmeralda Fudge as a nickname (named by DS2 who thought it sounded very Roald Dahl)

That's fantastic, I love it grin"

I know- we call her it all the time. She is such a 'character' too that it really fits.

DoNotDenyMe · 04/01/2016 00:55

I've got an Esme Emilia.

I have an Esme Florence.

My friend has an Esme Melody.

ChiefClerkDrumknott · 02/01/2016 21:30

If I had a girl if call her Esmerelda Jane, after two huge inspirations to me; a massively awesome Pratchett character and the fantastic Ms Austen Wink

We love Rose and sway towards it but a friend said it was common and overused and it's out us off!!

Hellofromtheotherside7 · 02/01/2016 20:54

My go to middle name is always Rose?

How about Alexandra or Frances (I love this name and hardly ever hear it!)?

Unoriginalusername123 · 02/01/2016 20:05

How about:

Esme Florence
Esme Lucinda
Esme Rosalind
Esme Carolyn
Esme Sophia
Esme Jessica
Esme Summer
Esme Victoria

dimdommilpot · 02/01/2016 15:13

I wanted Victoria for our Esme's middle name as this is my middle name. OH didnt like it so we went with Alexa which is what he wanted to call her.

StompyFreckles · 02/01/2016 10:52

I would go with a longer middle name. Do you have a family name you could use? With Esme, I prefer names like:

Jennifer
Katherine
Elizabeth
Genevieve

xmasseason · 02/01/2016 10:38

Esme Olivia sounds lovely. I also like Esme Valentina.

ifigoup · 02/01/2016 10:36

Esme Persephone
Esme Penelope
Esme Joelle
Esme Octavia (similar feel to Olivia but less popular?)
Esme Oriana (ditto)
Esme Ruthann
Esme Miranda
Esme Melania
Esme Aurelia
Esme Cordelia
Esme Belinda

I hate being so fussy! Thank you so much for taking time to suggest. Other than Olivia nothing standing out.

We like Esme Belle, Esme Valentina but scared they are too OTT

Rebecca flows nicely I think

BloodyDogHairs · 02/01/2016 10:10

Probably Grin I was biased when I said I liked it as I have a Niamh Olivia.

Esme Joy is sweet. Think I prefer Esme Olivia but is Olivia too common?
