Last three before birth

[FifiinLondon]

Giving birth to DD2 in a few days, sister to Lucy, and here is the final shortlist:

• Serena
• Esme
• Delphine

I am French, DH is British, we live in the UK.

I would like a name that is cheerful, like Lucy.

At this stage I am ready to go with the one that gets the most votes from this thread as I can't decide and love them equally!

thanks!

Lucy & Esme! So cute,

Delphine

Serena 💕

Serena

Serena

Serena.

To me, it feels the happiest.

Serena

It would depend on your surname for me. If their surname is British Serena Smith or Serena Johnson works best for me.

If their surname is French Delphine would be my preference eg. Delphine Boucher. Delphine is such a beautiful name!

Serena, deffo. Lovely name.

There are SO many threads where people in the UK are pronouncing Esme as Ez-mee! Personally, I only know Ez-May's, but beware that some people will say Ez-Mee!

I prefer Serena, 2nd choice is Delphine, 3rd is Esme due to the potential pronunciation issues.

Serena

I really love Euphemia (Effie for short) - would probably used it if we hadn't had all boys!

Serena is lovely

Surname is only syllable and british, think Smith :)

They are all beautiful! Lucy and Esme has a nice ring to it! However I have never met a Delphine so I consider that one fairly unique and special in the UK. It's a stunning name.

Delphine is a donkey in Peppa Pig. Or likely turned into Dolphin. Dc can be cruel...
Esmae is nice...

Serena

Serena

Esme or Serena

Delphine is a fabulous name, I hope you chose it!

I'm not keen on Esme, it's very "old lady" but somehow doesn't have the same vibe of other old lady names that are so fashionable just now.

Serena is my favourite!

Delphine, nn Delphie - very pretty
Serena is ok
Esme I have never liked and I never know whether it should be pronounced Ez-may or Ez-mee (I have come across both)

Esme

I like Esme bast out of the 3, but around here, everyone would say Ez - mee, which (from previous threads) would upset people who want to hear Ez- may

Serena is okay.

I don't like Delphine, and would say it has a very different style / 'feel' to it from the sort of name Lucy is.

Lovely names! I have a Lucy and would choose Esme!
