Opinions on Essie?

What do you guys think of the name Essie? It would be Essie Joy Sarah Ball. Joy and Sarah are family names so they have to be included but feel free to suggest some other first names you like!☺️

It sounds made up, sorry.

Also having 'Joy' and 'Ball' in the same name immediately made me think of something you'd buy in Ann Summers.

There's an Essie at school (Y10, so about 15). It's ok. People will think it's a nickname. But I also think of the nail polish brand.

Nails.

Nail polish

It’s a nail varnish brand.

Messy

Lovely name

emmathedilemma · 19/06/2020 16:38

awful, sounds like it's missing a consonant

I do think it’s ok, but it makes me think of the nail polish brand

It needs to be short for something I think otherwise it feels a bit childish. Esther is lovely, Estelle could be an option even Elissa or Elise...

It sounds like someone trying to say Nessie. It's a cute nn though for Esther or Esmeralda. Love Joy Sarah

Sounds like a nickname

DaffyDaffy · 19/06/2020 16:14

I like it as a nickname for Esther.
