Middle name for Esmé

[Honey2]

Hi all

Had a last minute change of mind to Esmé as a first name and now our middle name ideas don’t seem to go… we were thinking Lily, Mae, Ada,Eva

Can you please suggest some new ones?

I'd say it needs to start with a consonant and preferably not one that's in the first name. Also avoid repeating the same vowel sounds.

Esmé is a male spelling, isn’t it? You’d need Esme (anglicised) or Esmée as a female name. Middle name needs to start with a consonant.

Jane
Faye
Clara
Maude

Esme is a lovely name. A middle name beginning with either J or B sounds nice to my ear. So maybe Jessica, Jane or Bea.

@Blimecory yes I believe so, I really want it pronounced Es ‘may’ though and wondered if the double e would encourage people to pronounce it Es ‘mee’

Esme Grace
Esme Joy

Ignore me. Just said Esme Bea out loud with your favoured pronunciation ... 'may' followed by Bea gives you maybe. Soz!

Esmé is one of my names too, so sharing my names list in case it helps...

I really want it pronounced Es ‘may’

Then spell it Esmay or Esmae.

Esmé is not pronounced Es-may! Certainly not in French and it's a French spelling.

@Lilaclavenders how is Esmé or Esmée pronounced?

Esme Savannah

I wanted to change my name to this when I was about 12yo.

Corinne / Karina came first to my mind.

Esmé is pronounced Es-mé

The é is pronounced more like -eh rather than ay. It's a very difficult sound for English speakers.

Then spell it Esmay or Esmae.

Esmé is not pronounced Es-may! Certainly not in French and it's a French spelling.

It’s quite often pronounced Ez-May in the Uk (where have you been?), but Ez-me is more popular I think. No need for weird spellings either way.

Esme Lois
Esme Frances
Esme Adelaide
Esme Caitlin

So you want to pronounce it Ez-may and potentially have 'mae' as a middle name? I'd rule that one out !!
