Really don’t like Esme, such an old lady name, it sounds like Ethel or Edna to me.

Pippa on the other hand is lovely, such a friendly name and Pip is a super cute nickname.

I have a soft spot for Pippa ☺️

Athaliah · 27/12/2017 21:43

Pippa is a bit frumpy.

Esme is very sweet.

SoTotallyOverThis · 27/12/2017 21:44

Esme everytime.

Esteemed and loved.

MsHarry · 27/12/2017 21:45

Esme is sophisticated and Pippa is horsey/sloaney.

I love Esme and seriously considered it for my dd, however I was put off by the potential misspelling and pronunciation of it. The more I looked into the name the more conflicting things I read on whether it's pronounced Es-mee or Es-may, the various takes on spellings of it. Do love the name though!

Really dislike esme. Pippa is sweet but ruined by pippa Middleton

I have an Esmé. But i also like pippa.

beela · 27/12/2017 21:54

Esme, but exactly what keepingbees said.

Thanks for all the comments, much appreciated. I didn't know Pippa meant that in some European countries!  definitely off the cards now! Lol

I'm also struggling with that @keepingbees. I'd hate to constantly have to correct people, our surname is bad enough for that. Looks like we're back to the drawing board!!
