Eliza or Esmée?

Just that, really, DD2 due in a few weeks and we were set on Esmée (spelt this way as half our family is French), but DH threw Eliza in the mix, and I really like it too.

Both would go well with our simple surname of one syllable.

So coming here for a quick poll. Would love to hear your opinion on which name is your favourite and why :)

Thanks!

I love Eliza

Eliza. I think it’s a nicer name, it’s not as popular as Esme/ Esmee, and there isn’t the issue of the two possible spellings - imagine always having to say ‘It’s got two E’s at the end’.

Eliza for sure otherwise you're committing your DD to a lifetime of correcting her name spelling

I much prefer Eliza, personally. I find Esmée a bit wishy-washy. Although at least your child would have the right herritage for it.

Eliza is much sparkier though.
