I currently have a 6 day old with no name.
We have been through every name, and At first it was Edith (Edie) for short! But The more I said it, the more it didn’t sit right!
The other name we like is Esme!! We have another daughter called Mabel!

Does Esme and Mabel sound okay together? I think I’ve said so many names over the past 6 days, I’ve lost track!

Help name her before Christmas x

I love it, but I love Edith too.

bonfireheart · 23/12/2021 01:44

Both are lovely.

DramaAlpaca · 23/12/2021 01:44

They go perfectly together.

MarineBlue33 · 23/12/2021 01:46

Both Edith and Esme are lovely.
Which one do you and your dh love the most?

girljulian · 23/12/2021 01:52

She doesn't need to "go" with her sibling, why should she?

Marcipex · 23/12/2021 01:55

Edith is much nicer imo.
I know a Mabel with sister Elsie which is very sweet.

RedCandyApple · 23/12/2021 02:02

Love esme

Shmithecat2 · 23/12/2021 02:04

Edith is lovely.

flamedancer · 23/12/2021 02:22

Lovely name but I'm hearing it more and more by the day.

LoveGrooveDanceParty · 23/12/2021 02:56

Depends how you pronounce it.

Ilovemycatsomuch · 23/12/2021 03:25

Love Esme!

Ruthietuthie · 23/12/2021 04:13

I LOVE the name Esme. One of my absolute favorites. Edith is lovely too, but Esme is my pick.
And many congratulations on your little girl.

Dammitthisisshit · 23/12/2021 04:23

I know siblings called Mabel and Esme. Seems to go to me!

RichPetunia · 23/12/2021 04:37

Esme and Mabel go great together. Lovely names.

garlictwist · 23/12/2021 04:51

Im afraid I really dislike the name Esme. I think it's quite ugly. But clearly I'm in the minority!

DotDotDotDotDot · 23/12/2021 05:47

They’re both lovely. Although Esme has the pronunciation/different spelling issues. Edith/Edie is probably more straight forward, in case those issues might bother you. Congratulations btw.

delshell · 23/12/2021 05:50

Congratulations on your baby girl! Mabel and Esme sound perfect together ❤️

EveryFlightBeginsWithAFall · 23/12/2021 05:55

They sound lovely together

They're both lovely. I prefer Edith fwiw, but either go nicely with Mabel. (In fact Mabel must go particularly well with those E names as I've considered it as an option for a second, and I have an Enid!)

Roselilly36 · 23/12/2021 07:03

I love Esme, I also like Elsie too, not keen on Edith. Mable is such a lovely name OP, Mable & Esme.

LagerthaofKattegat · 23/12/2021 07:04

I love Mabel.
Esme, I never know. Is it Esmeeee or Esmay?

Thanks

Gassylady · 23/12/2021 07:09

Team Esme all the way - one of my favourite book characters is Granny (Esme) Weatherwax 👏👏
