Esme, Emmy, Elspeth, Eliza, Martha

[newby2]

Surname beginning with Z quite a funky one. What do you think?

[rotavirusrita]

Elspeth. Love it!

Emmy sounds llke a nickname rather than a full name.

Eliza plus z surname might be too many z' s

[DebK2012]

Like Esme!

[Beamur]

I'd say Esme or Elspeth (Emmy does sound nn-ey) I actually prefer Eliza (fab name) but without knowing what your surname is would wonder how it would sound.
Nothing against Martha either.
All lovely names.

[elpth]

I'm an Elspeth and recommend it! I've met a few over the years and they all love being Elspeth too. Other names are lovely too though, good choices!

[MolotovCocktail]

Esme: would you be putting an accent over the final 'e'?

[PurpleTinsel]

I like Esme and Elspeth best.

[Alisvolatpropiis]

Would you be saying Ez-may or Es-mee? Big yes to the latter,big no to the former.

Elspeth is lovely and so unusual!

[LimeLeafLizard]

I vote Elspeth! I used to know one as a child and she was lovely.

[40thisisit]

Martha, Martha or Martha sounds perfect x

[Startail]

Esme with a z surname good get a bit zzzzy.

Elsapeth is lovely and I think better with a z surname.

Emmy to me is a pet name for a little Emma or Emily.

[forgetmenots]

Martha is by far my favourite and Emmy/Esme my least favourites.

Eliza depends on your surname in case the repeated z is too much, and I love Elspeth but again the 's' and 'th' then 'z' is difficult to judge!

FWIW I also like Esther, might work with your name?

[baskingseals]

Eliza for me. gorgeous name.

Martha always reminds me of hearth and earth. also hand-maiden cinderella type. much prefer Marta, more elegant.

[DeekeyDoo]

Love them all. How about Elsie as well?

[smother]

All lovely. Also what about Elizabeth? Then could have lots of lovely nns, like Lizzie, Elsie, Beth, Betty?

[EssieW]

All nice. Particularly like elspeth. Also Elsa a nice alternative

[EllenParsons]

Martha! Gorgeous name.

[notMarlene]

Elsapeth or Elspeth.

Mathilda?

[notMarlene]

Nice eclear post there Meaning I'd choose either of the two E names from what's mentioned in the OP and by PPs.

[MikeLitorisHasChristmasLights]

Eliza.

Just because I have one and I love it!

[KenDoddsDadsDog]

Martha or Marta

[recall]

Oh Elspeth please....do it for me, my husband wanted a different name and I lost It would have really suited her too.

[JiltedJohnsJulie]

Elspeth or Eliza. Envy is a nickname and I know a few Martha's and esmes.

[Eggs]

What about Esmay?

[newby2]

Hello ladies,

What a mixed bag. Still can't decide but will see what the baby looks like I think. We've also added in Flora just to be more confused. Thanks for your opinions!

[JiltedJohnsJulie]

Emmy is a nickname not Envy. Envy would be a weird choice
