What would be your choice ?Girls Names

[Hunt123]

Hi all , it’s still very early days but we are trying to be organised. We are finding girls names much easier than boys !
We like for a girl :
Luna Esmae
Esmae Sienna
Middle names I am happy to switch / change ! But it will be Luna or Esmae. Am a little concerned with the popularity of Esmae now.

For a boy I love Teddy ! However OH doesn’t seem to like any names I suggest but would be happy for me to have Teddy . I just want him to equally love the name we choose ! Open to boy name suggestions .

Luna is pretty and popular at the moment
Esmae did you mean to spell it like that,as opposed to Esme?
I don’t think Luna and esmae are good together, too clunky.
I prefer Luna

@HeelsHandbagPerfumeCoffee ! I agree with you about Luna and Esmae being too much together ! I like Esmae spelt this way and Esme !
I have only just noticed Luna is going up in popularity ! Typical x

Luna is also a very popular dog name at the moment.

What other boys names do you like? It's hard to make suggestions based on one example.

Names get Popular for a reason because they’re nice,inoffensive etc only thing is you might end up in a class of Luna A, Luna B and C
Worth considering if that matters to you

Dog? Really
Well was not aware of that.

@Happenchance for a boy I also love :
Isaac
Arlo
Freddie

I don't know any Esmae's and personally I prefer the spelling Esme, pronounced Ez-me but that's probably because all the ones I know use that pronunciation. I only know one young girl with that name, the others are all older.

Could you name a boy Edward and use Teddy as a nickname?

I like Luna, but as a pp had said, it is very popular for animals at the moment! I know several dogs and horses, probably due to Luna Lovegood. It is pretty though.

Love all of these. Particularly Freddie but I may be biased!

@littlemisslozza Edward is a potential ! OH has a family tradition of the boys middle names being Edward Thomas or Thomas Edward . I just can’t ever see myself calling the baby Edward . However it would look better for the birth certificate .

I have only ever seen Esmae spelt this way but I agree now I’ve seen it as Esme ... it looks much better

@littlemisslozza I am guessing you have a Freddie ? So so cute isn’t it !!

I work in a Nursery though so it’s so hard to think of unusual but nice and not to think of a particular child !!

Will have to work on these name suggestions with OH !! X

Isaac
Arlo
Freddie
Yes they’re all really great names. Like them all

Regards Esmae, phonetically it’s correct for esme eg Ez-may
I have never heard esme pronounced es- me

@HeelsHandbagPerfumeCoffee what about Esme Sienna ?

Yes! He's a teenager now and his name has grown with him from cute to quite cool I guess. I had the same dilemma as a teacher and at the time it wasn't a popular name so I didn't know any!

Good luck choosing.

@littlemisslozza thank you ! I just can’t wait to find out the sex so we can really knuckle down and find a boys name or pick Esme or Luna as our girls name !

Esme sienna, yea that works
You’re fortunate working in nursery you’ll see name trends
All my kids went to FT nursery 6mth onwards,they flourished with absolutely star staff

Sienna Esme sounds better

Mmm, actually yes, Sienna Esme is better

Names with a similar sound to Esmae/Esme but are less popular: Jessamy, Romy and Tesni

For boys, the first names that came to mind when I saw your list were: Elias, Jago and Sonny

I like Sienna Esmae

@babycakes1010 @HeelsHandbagPerfumeCoffee @ThirdTimeLuckyIHope- I love Sienna Esme ! Will suggest that to OH thank you x

@Happenchance I like Elias - I will suggest that to OH ! Thank you x

I prefer Esme Sienna or Sienna Esme

@GinAndTonicOnIt OH prefers Esme as oppose to Luna ! Surname begins with an “E” as well so it’s got a very nice flow to it !

Arlo Edward is a lovely boys name?

Love Esme! Also love Elodie and Elsie and Clara!

@Lotsalotsagiggles I absolutely love that ... that is a gorgeous suggestion !!
@Mammyloveswine Elsie is another classic favourite off mine ! Esme and Elsie would be great Twinnies names !! OH is not a fan off Elsie though !
