Middle name for Esther

[clairehr]

What would you use as a middle name for Esther?

I love the flow of Grace and May, but both of these feel like 'filler' names and are a bit too common as middle names for what we're looking for.

Rhian
Margaret or Margot
Rosemary
Melanie
Kate
Lucy

Maeve
Pearl

Lorna
Faye

Esther Marie
Esther Pearl
Esther Maude
Esther Florence
Esther Rosabelle
Esther Nicole
Esther Frances
Esther Loren
Esther Louise (Not so common as a mn these days
Esther Lucille

Esther Rose

Esther Hope
Esther Ruth
Esther Jane

I think you’re on the right lines with a one syllable name. It sounds ‘right’.

Esther Lucille
Esther Alice
Esther Elizabeth

Beatrice.

I LOVE the name Esther btw.

Esther Anne

Love some of these suggestions. Surname will be three syllables, so a single syllable or short middle name probably works best.

I wish May wasn't quite so popular, the month has such meaning to us.

What do people think of Joy as a middle name? I'm not sold on it, but it's a potential, not sure if it's a bit too 'twee'.

Esther Blythe
Esther Faye
Esther Ruth
Esther Maeve
Esther Hope
Esther Joy

Esther Ivy?

Marnie
Faith
Faye

Funny you ask, OP, my first thought on reading the OP was Esther Joy! I like it :) Not too twee, a beautiful traditional name- and I’m sure appropriate as your baby will bring you great joy! 👍🏻

Louise?
Esther Louise seems to flow quite well.

Mind you, if May has meaning - maybe go for that? Esther is quite an unusual name, I doubt you’ll meet another Esther May.

Otherwise:
Esther Ann
Esther Clare
Esther Elle (not convinced)
Esther Hope
Esther Kay
Esther Pearl
Esther Quinn (bit out there!)
Esther Rae
Esther Yves

Esther Margerite.

I think May is fine with Esther, if it has meaning for you. I know a teenage Esther who has May as a middle name.

Esther Flo
Esther Nell

Go for May/Mae if it has meaning for you and don't worry about popularity.

For the record I think Esther Rose sounds prettiest.

Esther Rose
Esther
Esther Ann
Esther Elizabeth
Esther Grace
Esther Helena
Esther Jane
Esther violet
Esther Lily
Esther Abigail
Esther Catherine

I like Joy as a middle name. I know a little Delilah Joy and think it's adorable.

Esther Joy sounds nice. I quite like Esther Kate too.

Joy

I have a Madeleine joy so I am biased

Hello- I have an almost two year old Esther - we used Rose as a middle name as it is a shortened version of my name. Think it sounds lovely and it doesn't matter that it is often a 'filler' name as it has meaning and is still such an unusual combination. We also liked May, Grace, Joy and June. Lovely name choice OP.
