Does this work?

I am having my third girl and we are naming her Esther. I would like to use Etta as a nickname but I already have an Ella. Is that too similar and confusing?

I think that's a super cute NN for Esther, but it's a little too close to Ella for me

That was my thought too but just wanted to check in. Thanks ladies. 

Any other suggestions for a good nickname?

Too confusing.  Also I don't see Etta as a NN for Esther.  Estee maybe?  (Like Estee Lauder)

I know an Esther who goes by Essie. She is in her mid 30s, it is sort of cutesy for me, but I tend to dislike nn's in general.

Essie?  Es?

Love Esther.  Essie is a super cute NN!

I know an elderly Ester that goes by Tess, I wouldn't have thought of that nn but I like it. 

^ I love this! I think Etta and Ella are too close.
