Middle name for Esther

Expecting second dd soon. We've decided on the name Esther but can't agree on a middle name. I like Beatrix (too popular?) and Sidonie. Husband unsure on both.
Any ideas?

Love Beatrix. It goes well with Esther. Sidonie les so because of the S at the beginning.

Marie was the first name that popped into my head.

No idea why.

Esther is lovely.
I like Esther Ruth or Esther Grace.

My God daughter is Esther Louise.

Esther Beatrix sounds good to me

Whatisgoingonhere · 22/08/2020 22:31

Weird, Marie was first to my mind too!

Esther Elizabeth

How many syllables are in your last name, and what is the initial? Are you looking for a smooth flow, or a dynamic syncopated bounce? And it is wise to avoid any unintentional initial combos.
Esther Joy is lovely, as a previous poster said.

Congratulations, OP!

Rose.

Probably be because I know two sisters, eldest is Esther, youngest is Rose.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 22/08/2020 22:44

Esther Beatrix is good.
I don’t like Esther Sidonie. There are too many S sounds. You’d sound like a bloody snake saying it. Plus the names have totally different vibes.

Thanks for all these suggestions. I'm now even happier with Beatrix and determined to convince OH! :)

But will put a few others into the mix too. Thanks!

Esther Beatrix is good.

I also like Esther Florence, and I'll throw in Esther Jean as a short middle name suggestion too.

Hazel! Great choice on Esther. We have one in our house.

Esther Nerine

pinkyredrose · 23/08/2020 09:33

Does she need a middle name?

whatausername · 24/08/2020 10:19

Esther Jean makes me think of oestrogen even though the 'eh' and 'ea' sounds are swapped round in oestrogen. 🤔
