DH sand I both love the name so 99.99% sure DD will be Esme. Favourites so far for a middle name are:

Esme Alexandra
Esme Harriet
Esme Catherine

But does anyone have anything else to suggest? Smile

Esme Elizabeth
Esme Marie

Esme Hope. I think a monosyllabic name works best.

ShugAvery1 · 12/01/2017 20:39

Esme Rose. I know Rose is used a lot for middle names but it's a favourite of mine because it's my middle name

Esme Jane

Esme Louise/Louisa

Esme Charlotte

Esme Rose. Beautiful name btw. My second choice for my DD.

RedWineLush · 12/01/2017 20:40

I like Esme Joy.
Or Esme Sophia

I was going to say esme rose too. I think you should choose another four letter name, it will roll off the tongue better (and be easier for her to spell)!

HoorayForFishAndChips · 12/01/2017 20:51

Thank you, some lovely ideas, I will run them past DH!

I love Esme Rose and Esme Hope...I had a mmc last year so I've spent this pregnancy hoping everything will be ok!

AmyInTheBoonies · 12/01/2017 21:06

Rose, Grace and May are very popular middle names. This would make me want to avoid them.

Esme Miranda
Esme Lucinda
Esme Honor

I also think the Rose/May/Grace middle names are lovely but overused.

Depends on how many syllables in the surname.
If its a 1 syllable surname then I reckon a longer middle name would sound nicer, eg. Esme Rosalind Smith
If its a long surname then a 1 syllable middle name would sound good, eg. Esme Hope Alexander
I think if its a 2 syllable surname then a 2 syllable middle name works well
Eg. Esme Catherine Herbert

Esme should be short for Esmerelda, and the middle names should be Margaret Note Spelling.
