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

Love the name Esme. 🌹

Esme is nice but Edith is a really lovely name.

They're both good names but if you wanted to keep the Edie nickname Eden is an option too.

Congrats! I think Esme is lovely with Mabel.

Both have a similar meaning (Mabel is from Amabilis meaning loveable) and Esme means esteemed or loved.

Amabilis is a Latin name and Esme has French roots. Finally both Mabel and Esme are top 100 names (according to the most recent dataset).

To me they are perfect together.

They'll be Mabel & Esme and they go together fine.
Not keen on Edie - ED is erectile dysfunction or eating disorder.

Edie will get shortened to Ede, which isn't very nice

Love Esme x
Congratulations on your new baby!

Both nice but Edith/Edie is by far my favourite

My Aunt was Esme. She was a woman far ahead of her time. She travelled all over Europe in the 1950s, was a cable maker for a living, wonderful seamstress, great with a hammer and incredibly stylish. I think it's beautiful. Congratulations!
