Esmeralda - love or hate? And a middle name?

[grobagsforever]

Current top choice for DD2 - nickname Essy rather than Esme which is getting a bit common and can sound horrid yelled out: "EZZZZ MAIIII".

She could be Mel when older I guess. We also need a traditional English middle name to go with it - current favourites are Rose or Paige. Ideally 1 syllable.

Esmeralda is beautiful. Id have nn merry.

[declansyellowsocks]

I don't mind it but I prefer Emerald which is pretty and unusual, but a little less flowery - I like Em, Emmie (and Merry, which I hadn't thought of before this thread) as nicknames.

Zombie thread from three years ago. I doubt you'll get a reply

Several posters spell Esmeralda incorrectly though, as always

[MrsMeeseeks]

Everyone will spell it incorrectly- as shown on this thread!

[MrsMeeseeks]

Bah, stoopid zombie threads. So annoying when people do that.

I like Zelda Rose.
Esmerelda Jayne
Esmerelda Daisy

Apologies MrsMeeseeks, wanted to see the experience of someone else that names her child the name we are considering in the UK. Thank you everyone for input. Only name that we both really like at the moment...

[JiltedJohnsJulie]

I love it, is it Cornish?

High Court Justice Esmerelda Rose Smith.

Sorry. I don't see it.

[MrsMeeseeks]

What a pointless comment. If she were a high court Judge, she would be addressed as Ms Justice Smith, not Esmeralda.

[MarmiteDoesYouGood]

I think it's fine. I don't love it, but I like it.

[Mum8]

EweAreHere don't have such high aspirations for my children. Just want them to have a truly happy and carefree life. That being said Esmeralda is a respectable name in Spain and Rose Smith is so far from our last name 😊 Thanks for input though

I actually rather like it, seems strong and different. Nicknames follow later Ralda comes naturally but I'm sure you could think up something a bit nicer?

I love it! Esmeralda Rose is so pretty. Also like the suggestion of Emerald x

I love it so much I named one of my beloved tortoises it! Love Pearl with it too.
