Variations of the name Essie for a baby girl?

Question

My husband and I are trying to get pregnant. We have many boy names picked out, but not having so much luck with the girl names. We'd really like to name her after my grandmother who passed away 4 years age. Her name was Essie, but we feel that we need a more "modern" name for a baby in the 21st century. Any suggestions on more modern variations of Essie?

Essery

Answer 2
