Last three before birth

Giving birth to DD2 in a few days, sister to Lucy, and here is the final shortlist:

  • Serena
  • Esme
  • Delphine

I am French, DH is British, we live in the UK.

I would like a name that is cheerful, like Lucy.

At this stage I am ready to go with the one that gets the most votes from this thread as I can't decide and love them equally!

thanks!

Serena or Delphine! Good luck and let us know

Love Serena, well known but not a commonly used name and it’s lovely!

Esme and Lucy go so well together.

Nopet · 06/06/2024 09:42

Esme .

Firsttimebabymummy · 06/06/2024 09:38

Serena! I absolutely love this name and pairs well with Lucy I feel.

2nd choice would be Esme.

KirstenBlest · 06/06/2024 09:00

I don't think any of them have the same vibe as Lucy. I suggest Sophie.

MarjorieDanvers · 06/06/2024 07:34

Esme

Another vote for Delphine - very beautiful!

ilikeeggs · 05/06/2024 21:58

I like Serena the best. Delphine is nice but I just think of Delphine Donkey and Esme has the pronunciation issues.

NarnianQueen · 05/06/2024 21:50

Delphine ❤️

If you name her Serena she'll be one of many 🤔

MysticCT · 05/06/2024 21:42

Serena is lovely.

froggie25 · 05/06/2024 21:38

Serena is beautiful

Delphine

Moreteaandchocolate · 05/06/2024 20:52

Lovely names! I have a Lucy and would choose Esme!

NewName24 · 05/06/2024 20:51

I like Esme bast out of the 3, but around here, everyone would say Ez - mee, which (from previous threads) would upset people who want to hear Ez- may

Serena is okay.

I don't like Delphine, and would say it has a very different style / 'feel' to it from the sort of name Lucy is.

SilverSimca · 05/06/2024 20:42

Esme

mangobananasmooothie · 05/06/2024 20:40

Delphine, nn Delphie - very pretty
Serena is ok
Esme I have never liked and I never know whether it should be pronounced Ez-may or Ez-mee (I have come across both)
