Sibling for Esmé

34 replies

MinisterforCheekyFuckery · 12/04/2018 17:59

We already have an Esmé and DH has rejected Elijah, Elise and Eliza off my list as sounding too similar.

Other names we both like are
Nancy, Thea, Martha and Sadie for a girl. Seth, Nathaniel (Nate for short) or Theo for a boy. But we don't love any of them like we do the name Esmé.

Any suggestions would be very welcome.

Love both Nathaniel and Theo, and think they pair beautifully with Esmé. Girls name suggestions would be:

Billie and Esmé
Nathalie and Esmé
Saskia and Esmé
Angelina and Esmé
Nadia and Esmé

I like Sadie and I like Theo x

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 13/04/2018 11:49

Love Nancy, Thea and Martha.

George, Gabriel, Henry for a boy.

chezmk1988 · 13/04/2018 11:19

Esme and Martha from your list. I know an Esme and Olivia siblings. Lucy?

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 13/04/2018 09:51

I wouldn't put Mabel with Esme as they both have May in.

I think Mabel is lovely but DH has vetoed it. We both really like Cara though so that'll definitely be going on the list.

Alice and Violet.

Love Martha and Thea! I think Thea in particular goes very well with Esme. I feel like you need another fairly short name for a girl. Perhaps:

Esme and Cara
Esme and Rosa
Esme and Lara
Esme and Kate
Esme and Freya

For a boy, I really like all your choices! Other ideas:

Esme and Max
Esme and Thomas
Esme and Louis
Esme and Leo
Esme and Toby
Esme and Jacob

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 12/04/2018 22:51

Love Esme and Nancy, or Esme and Stella, both great choices.
Boys, Esme and Joshua, or Esme and Thomas.

deste · 12/04/2018 22:34

Esme and Dulcie.

Smoliver · 12/04/2018 22:30

I only know one Esme, who has an older brother named Jack.

I love all your girls names on your list, especially Thea. I like Nathaniel and Theo from your boys names too.

Some other suggestions...
Maeve/Maeva
Alice
Hazel
Lila
Audrey
Heidi

Isaac
Joseph
Arthur
Sebastian
Liam
Tobias
Nicholas

The children I know named Esme have siblings named Wilfred and Elias. I think they’re both lovely names.

I also think Toby and Rory are lovely and would go well with Esme.

Nancy and Sadie are lovely.

How about Mabel?

Puttheknifedown · 12/04/2018 19:33

Esme and Rory sounds cute

DH likes Stella but I just associate it with the woman who used to run the pub in Coronation Street Grin

REALLY liking Joel and Alec, thank you...and remarkably so does DH! So bloody difficult to find something we both agree on!

Love Phoebe, Amelie and Iris but all used by close friends or relatives so can't have them Sad
