DH sand I both love the name so 99.99% sure DD will be Esme. Favourites so far for a middle name are:

Esme Alexandra
Esme Harriet
Esme Catherine

But does anyone have anything else to suggest? Smile

I expect OP has decided on a name, since the child is almost two by now.

One of my girls I would name Esme Lorraine Melody

Very good why bump old threads? I don’t even understand what you mean anyway.

There's actually loads that go with Esme, I am really glad I asked! We're just talking about it now. She's due at the end of April so there's plenty of time to decide Grin

It's a 3 syllable surname so maybe a shorter middle name...there's lots to think about!

I've just had to Google that LaContessa, I've not read Discworld Blush but I like their tradition of the baby being named whatever the priest says at the naming ceremony, it looks funny Grin

Esme Jane.

Rose, rose, rose

LaContessaDiPlump · 12/01/2017 21:44

Esme should be short for Esmerelda, and the middle names should be Margaret Note Spelling.

Depends on how many syllables in the surname.
If its a 1 syllable surname then I reckon a longer middle name would sound nicer, eg. Esme Rosalind Smith
If its a long surname then a 1 syllable middle name would sound good, eg. Esme Hope Alexander
I think if its a 2 syllable surname then a 2 syllable middle name works well
Eg. Esme Catherine Herbert

WallisFrizz · 12/01/2017 21:31

Esme Caroline
Esme Nicole
Esme Rachel
Esme Zara
Esme Jessica
Esme Eve
Esme Sophia
Esme Lauren

I also think the Rose/May/Grace middle names are lovely but overused.

Esme Pearl
Esme Taylor
Esme Angelique
Esme Arabella
Esme Jane
