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!☺️

Sounds like a dinosaur in kids TV. Awful. Sorry!

Nail varnish or Ford Escort.

Agree with pp, it sounds as if it should be short for something and I also think Essie Sarah Joy flows better.

Nice a ma a nickname.

Esme or Esther would be beautiful!

Instantly thought of nail varnish.

Bessie?

Agree on it being a nice nn for Esther. And the full name flows and looks stronger with Esther

I’m not keen and nail polish is also my first thought.

I don’t think you should have joy next to ball either as some posters have mentioned. Joy Ball does sound a bit Ann Summers!

I like it,
There’s a character on holby city called Essie.
I didn’t know Essie was a nail polish brand.

Este is lovely. Esther also. Sorry, I am not keen on Essie.

I really like it, though prefer it as a nn

We considered it as a nn for Elspeth. Also like Esther

I think Essie Sarah Joy Ball sounds better BTW, it seems to flow a bit better

I think Joy Ball might not be a very good idea.

If your surname is Ball, it's probably wise to be particularly careful with first names, including ones which rhyme with other words.

Essie would be ok as a nn for Esther - though Hester is a lovely name.

Sweet, it will blend into the Ellies and Issies mind.

I’d prefer Esja (pronounced Essia) to Essie.
