Esme Matilda is beautiful 🌟

ABrightSilverLining · 08/05/2022 20:33

Esme Juliet is my favourite.

sandalsinbohemia · 08/05/2022 20:32

Smile Esme Viola Horn sounds nice though (provided you don't mind that you've got two instruments in there!)

My favourite of your list is Juliet but I'm biased as that's one of my DC's middle names also :)

How incredibly rude

OP - you have some beautiful names in your list

Love Violet as a middle name

Thanks I didn't take offence, I've a 12, 10, 3 and 2 Yr old... add to that 8 Foster kids in the immediate family and my mums a primary teacher. We've only known of 1 Esme in that time, think it might depend on the area x

Although I love the name Violet, I wouldn't do Violet Horn because it sounds like a bit of a naughty euphemism!!!

Kittykatmacbill · 08/05/2022 20:24

Love Esme Margot! Although I like Margot Esme a bit more - not helpful :-)

BritInUS1 · 08/05/2022 20:22

Esme Violet is my vote

Firebird83 · 08/05/2022 20:21

I like Matilda, Juliet, Margot or Violet.

Hadtocomment · 08/05/2022 20:19

I think Esme Viola flows nicely.

TwoBigNoisyBoys · 08/05/2022 20:16

Love Violet ❤️ Ignore the rude poster. You have chosen a beautiful name.

CorpusCallosum · 08/05/2022 20:16

Juliet

I wanted it for DD and have a pang of regret every time someone else gets to use it. Especially as I know no other little Juliet's but a few others do have DDs name. It's just such a beautiful, classic and romantic name and it works so nicely with Esme.

Thank you all for your honesty! All those names have meaning to us in some way but obvs have to flow so thanks for the feedback xx

Love it with Nova!

I don't like the M names with Esme because the M sounds together are too much.

allalila · 08/05/2022 20:13

Or Violet

allalila · 08/05/2022 20:12

Esme Juliet
Juliet is classier than the other choices I think

69mumnetter420 · 08/05/2022 20:04

this is such a chavvy name im sorry but do you really want your child going through life with the same name as every other girl in class? i feel like you could definitely come up with something better! apologies if this seems a little harsh but at every parent teacher thing its always the name being screamed at for bad behaviour and at least 10 children will look.

How incredibly rude

Love Violet as a middle name

DrEllie · 08/05/2022 20:10

I have a daughter with middle name Juliet (born in July) and another May (should've been May but born in April, awkward girl). Juliet is an evergreen imho

Clevs · 08/05/2022 20:07

Violet or Matilda, in that order.

cakebytheoceon · 08/05/2022 20:06

Esme is a beautiful name
Love violet as the middle name x

Undertheoldlindentree · 08/05/2022 20:04

I like Esme Juliet or Esme Matilda. Why not research a few and see if it's a positive connection?

Juliet is my favourite.

I also like Violet and Matilda.

Please don't stress yourself though! Esme is lovely and you will have a lovely name for your daughter whichever middle name you choose.

KirstenBlest · 08/05/2022 20:02

Actually Esme Matilda is a bit too M heavy, so not ok

KirstenBlest · 08/05/2022 20:01

Esme Nova - no va. Doesn't go in Spanish. No
Esme Matilda - ok
Esme Viola - nice
Esme Violet - nice
Esme Juliet - nice
Esme Margot - not keen on Margot
Esme Molly - doesn't flow. I prefer Molly to Esme

Molly Juliet is nice, so i'll suggest EsmeJuliet
