Choosing a name

I’m currently 35wks/3days pregnant and choosing a name for our second is hard!
Our first daughter is Freya but choosing a name for this little one we cant decide which one we like Esmée or Ava?
my husband said if we go for Ava, to use Esmee as middle name but doesn’t really sound right!

Esme goes better with Freya in my opinion. Lovely names 😊

Ava is an extremely popular name where I'm from, and has about 10 different variations and spellings so my vote is firmly with Esmée. Fabulous name.

I voted Esmee since I like it better than Ava. That said, are you fine with your kid dropping accent very often from her official documents IF she moves to country that doesn't allow accents on documents?

Ava

Esmee will spend her life correcting people on the spelling and pronunciation.
