Hi

Already have two girls Ella Nicole and Eden Summer (both of which I absolutely love) but finding it so hard to find another girl's name!

Have a small list of 6 names, 5 of which start with E...! That is not intentional, just worked out that way. I did have one name that wasn't an E but husband has said no to that 😢

Current list is

Esme
(would want it pronounced Ez-may though, don't know if that would be an issue)

Ellexis
(newest to be added. Husband likes Lexi, I thought it would maybe be a compromise although would it just end up in her being called Lexi anyways)

Eliana

Everley

Eliza

Arielle

Does anybody have any other suggestions of names?

Thank you!

Emma
Emmeline
Emmy
Emilia
Evelyn
Eloise

Of your list, I really like Everly. Esme and Arielle ok too. I don't like Ellexia.

ellesbellesxxx · 05/04/2021 07:49

I thought Eloise too!

Or non E name:

Rosa

Actually another E name will make it even tricker when they get post (or is it all by email now so maybe not a problem!).

Abigail as PP said.
Ava
Aria

I think there are lots of A names that will go nicely.

I've taught two families who gave their children names with the same initial - Josh and Jacob, Leo & Lucas and honestly it's hard to remember who was who..... I'd try and give them their own identity & different initials. Ps think of the post/mail too - Miss.E ....... Miss. E.......

Sophia
Amanda

Estasala · 05/04/2021 07:41

Heather
Ashley
Grace
Eleanor/Ellie

Why do you have to have another E name? Why do people do this? 🤦‍♀️ I don't get it! Nothing against E names...my own daughter is Emma so I obviously love E names! But my second child didn't get saddled with an E name 🤷‍♀️

Zoe. Break the trend.

PandaFluff · 05/04/2021 07:22

Another vote for Esme

Esme Skye is nice

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 05/04/2021 01:21

The only one I like personally is Esme and it also fits best with her siblings names if that matters (popular 2 syllable, 4 letter "E" name with a different ending sound to Ella and Eden so it's not quite as matchy).

It's a lovely name and I think the majority of people in England/Wales would first guess it's pronounced Ez-May, even without the accent on the final e (might be different in other countries though - I think in Scotland it's more typically Ez -mee, not sure about Ireland).

However if you continue the naming pattern and have another child I'm not sure what other names you could use to "fit" - Evie I suppose? since that is also 2 syllables with a different ending sound to Esme, Eden and Ella. It would have to be Eric for a boy too!

Lalliella · 05/04/2021 00:12

Esme Martha
Esme Hannah
Esme Hattie
Esme Rosa
Esme Caitlin

Lalliella · 05/04/2021 00:09

I thought Esme before I clicked on your thread. It’s got to be a name starting with E with 4 letters, anything else would be just wrong. And it needs to have a different ending from the others, so Emma or Etta or Erin wouldn’t work. Esme for sure!

belwiz · 04/04/2021 23:25

Eva, Eloise or Elena for names beginning with E

Otherwise, Anya, Anna, Rosa or Abigail (Abbie) ?

Mummaofboys93 · 04/04/2021 23:22

Really love Esme with the other names.

Happenchance · 04/04/2021 23:18

uncomfortablydumb53 · 04/04/2021 23:07

Esme( pronounced as you said)
Elsa?

noideaboutanything · 04/04/2021 23:05

Elfie?

Mammyloveswine · 04/04/2021 23:02

Love Esme! (Pronounced like you said!)

Also love Elodie..

How about Edie?

GigantosaurusRex · 04/04/2021 22:59

Emer. There was a consultant on '24 hours in A&E' called Emer and I loved it!

GrouchyKiwi · 04/04/2021 22:59

I thought Esme when I read your title.

Emmelina · 04/04/2021 22:58

Elodie?

ladygindiva · 04/04/2021 22:55

Though tbh I don't like the way you spelled it I like Alexis, Lexi for short. It's lovely. Your other girls names are nice too.

serin · 04/04/2021 22:51

Ella, Eden and Florence.
If it has to start with E, then I'd go with Eliza.

Leytonladee · 04/04/2021 22:38

Esme ❤️
