I absolutely love this as a nickname - I would probably not use it as a full first name but would definitely choose this nickname for names like Estelle, Esther, etc. It's fresh and lovely but not too little-girly for a grown woman. Love it.

This was on the list for names we liked for our daughter. We were originally going to name her either Essiekia (pronounced ess-eek-ea) or Essiana (pronounced ess-e-ah-na) and we wanted to use Essie as a nickname. But we ended up settling for Chloney instead, so we didn't get to use this nickname for her.

My name is Essie. I was named after my grandmother. Her name was Essie Mae and mine is Essie Lynn. She was of French origin and always told me that my name meant "star". I was embarrassed of my name as a young girl because other kids would tease me and call me Elsie, which I didn't like at all.
As an adult I have come to be very proud to be called Essie because it reminds me of my grandmother and how everyone used to call her Miss Essie. Now knowing it is derived from Ester, and knowing the biblical story of Ester makes me smile just thinking of it.

This name is ok. It doesn't sound like a name by itself though but it could be short for something. I wouldn't name my kid this though because personally it reminds me of "easy" and I don't want the first impression of her name to be that she's easy.
