Hi MNers!

It’s the final countdown for our little girl due in a few weeks and we hesitate between Lucy and Esme!

Which one do you prefer and which one feels the most popular/common to you?

They’re close in the rankings of 2020 most popular names and I would like to pick the less common if possible, so keen to have the opinion of other mums :)

Full name would be:
Esme Lucy Ross
Or
Lucy Esme Ross

Thank you!! Flowers

I’d go with Lucy Elizabeth

Lucy Eliza is a bit cutsey

Lucy. I find Esme quite ugly

Esme first. I don't think it runs well having Lucy after Esme (but I can't put my finger on why, sorry). If you go with Lucy first then a different middle name.

But now my messages are loading some more Lucy Elizabeth is lovely!

Esme. I have an adult Esme and she absolutely loves her name. It is pretty and timeless.

dottiedaisee · 07/02/2021 21:33

Esme Elizabeth really sound beautiful.X

Lucy Elizabeth is the best of your ideas. Pretty classic and ageless.

Esme will date, she'll be expected to be 5-10 years older than she is.

Lucy!

Lucy 110%

I THINK I’ve made up my mind between the two now and I’m now thinking of middle names. Will update in a month! Wink thank you so much all, great suggestions in there
