Esther or Maisie?

Less than 4 weeks to due date and we aren't sure if we're having a boy or girl. Boys' name all picked and we're both happy with it, for a girl we were always going to go with Esther, although I had a slight wobble and wanted to rethink - then hubby threw Maisie into the mix. I quite like Maisie, but am torn... what do you prefer? (ps, Esther would get shortened to Essie or Ettie). Please help!

Much prefer Esther. It's lovely, and feels more substantial than Maisie.

I much prefer Maisie.

Esther is a bit hard sounding.

Esther is the better of the two IMO. Or what about Hester?

Esther. It's beautiful.

Esther is lovely, I always think of Maisie as very little girly.

Esther. But don't shorten it.
