Opinions on Essie?

[babychinoo]

What do you guys think of the name Essie? It would be Essie Joy Sarah Ball. Joy and Sarah are family names so they have to be included but feel free to suggest some other first names you like!☺️

I like it as a nickname for Esther.

Sounds like a nickname

It sounds like someone trying to say Nessie. It's a cute nn though for Esther or Esmeralda. Love Joy Sarah

It needs to be short for something I think otherwise it feels a bit childish. Esther is lovely, Estelle could be an option even Elissa or Elise...

I do think it’s ok, but it makes me think of the nail polish brand

awful, sounds like it's missing a consonant

Lovely name

Messy

It’s a nail varnish brand.

Nail polish

Nails.

There's an Essie at school (Y10, so about 15). It's ok. People will think it's a nickname. But I also think of the nail polish brand.

It sounds made up, sorry.

Also having 'Joy' and 'Ball' in the same name immediately made me think of something you'd buy in Ann Summers.

I'd give something as a 'full' name on BC - Elizabeth, Esther, Esme, Esmerelda or whatever, so she has the option of using something longer when older if she wants. We did similar for our son - he's known by the nickname, but his birth cert has full name.

First thought was "The Only Way is Essie", pretty as a nickname but I personally wouldn't choose it as a full name x

nails

Better as a nn for Esther.

I use it as a nickname for my DD. I love it for when they are younger but prefer her full name for teenager /adult

Nail varnish

No. Esther is great. Hester is great. Vanessa is great. Etc.

I feel the same as many above, it’s the nail varnish brand that comes to mind.
How about Elsie? Still short and sweet.

I watched Unorthodox on Netflix recently. The main character was called Esty, short for Esther. I really liked that.

It sounds like a nickname.

Nail polish.

Also, when she is 15 she'll be sick of the word 'essay' :-P

Agree with PP it doesn't sound like a full name
