Esme or Felicity?

We are very torn between Felicity and Esme for our baby girl due in the new year.
Any opinion? :)
Our surname is short (one syllable).

Esme gets my vote

Both are lovely. Felicity if I'm pushed. 👌

Definitely Felicity

Felicity

I agree; felicity

If you like both equally then I'd use Felicity - it's a classy name (makes me think of Felicity Kendal) and is less popular than Esme. Esme (whilst lovely) also has spelling and pronunciation issues that Felicity avoids.

Felicity with a one syllable surname is lovely
