Baby girl has finally arrived after being 10 days late! It was an intense yet quick labour but she’s here safe, sound and absolutely beautiful.

After meeting her, we’ve decided that she is either an Esme/Esmée, an Elena, an Edith or a Mabel and are completely torn!

I’d appreciate some final feedback on which of our combinations (seeing as none of these names actually made our final 3 list lol) work and what doesn’t? We can hopefully then narrow it down to help us chose. Many thanks!

Mabel Aurora
Mabel Beatrice
Mabel Beatrix

Elena Beatrice
Elena Beatrix
Elena Florence

Edith Aurora
Edith Florence

Esme/e Aurora
Esme/e Florence
Esme/e Lucia

Elena or Edith as first name, they are lovely.

Dinosaursdontgrowontrees · 03/09/2019 19:39

Edith Florence is amazing!!

ALoadOfTwaddle · 03/09/2019 19:39

Edith Aurora is the best.

Chitarra · 03/09/2019 19:40

I vote Elena Florence

lvra · 03/09/2019 19:40

I think Elena is lovely, and uncommon. Congratulations!

HeadLikeAFkingOrange · 03/09/2019 19:42

I love Elena Smile

Edith Florence or Mabel Edith/Florence - love Mabel but don’t like it with Aurora and think there’s too many B’s in the name when paired with Beatrice or Beatrix!

Peachbubble · 03/09/2019 19:58

Congratulations! I vote for
Edith Florence (think this sounds better with Violet too), second choice
Elena Florence

Elena Beatrix Niamh out of those options, although I prefer the spelling Beatrice.

Morado · 03/09/2019 22:33

I love the name Aurora but Esme Lucia has a beautiful ring to it!!

Bringmewineandcake · 03/09/2019 22:34

Esme Aurora Niamh...it's beautiful.
I really don't like Edith sorry. It's still an old lady name to me.

LarkDescending · 03/09/2019 23:34

Elena Florence Niamh.

IsobelRae23 · 04/09/2019 00:44

Esme Aurora Niamh definitely the best!
Congratulations!!

Astronica · 04/09/2019 01:45

Edith is my favourite and I much prefer Edith and Esme over Elena. (To me Elena sounds a bit bland and like many other names - Alana, Ariana, Elaina are some around me. Beatrix in the middle gives it more substance though.)
All the middles sound good. Edith Aurora Niamh is my favourite.

chickenyhead · 04/09/2019 01:49

Esme is my all time fave.

Love esme Aurora

diddlediddle · 04/09/2019 02:08

If you don't have Spanish or similar heritage I wouldn't use Elena.

I think these two options are lovely:
Edith Florence Niamh
Esme Aurora Niamh

I think Edith and aurora have different vibes and that's why I discounted them together. Depends whether you want a more pretty granny-chic type name (first one) or a more floral/floaty modern name (second one). Both are nice and seem go with violet.
