Esti sounds a little dated to me, but only because it was pretty popular in my community for my generation. It's still cute, and fits with Luna and Miles sound-wise! Don't like any of the middle names except Theodore.

I like Esti Maxine a lot. It builds on the syllable pattern and rhythm of Luna Simone but with names that are more unexpected. What I can’t handle is how Esti Stephens (John Legend’s last name) sounds. Those complex repeating sounds! It’s rough.

I know names are cultural. That child living in the US and mainly in an anglo-speaking culture won't have any problem wearing that name. But where I am from, ''esti'' is a swear word. Hahaha! I am not kidding. So I need to get pass that in my head.

If I take the name in it's cultural context, I suppose it sounds ok. Not a favorite if I compare it to other ''Est'' names like Esther or Estelle, which feel much more refined. I also prefer their other kids' name than Esti personally.

Esti is cute. Luna is pretty. Miles is ok. Don't really like the middle names.

Miles is ok, I don't like Luna and Esti is too cutesy. Theodore, Simone and Maxine would have been better

I don't care for Esti, although I certainly don't think it's horrible, especially considering how celebrity baby names usually go. I like Maxine more, but the combination doesn't exactly go together. There's that double 'Ee' sound.
However, Esti goes well with her siblings names; all being short names.
Miles Theodore is really solid and handsome.

It's cute, I don't mind it, although some part of me still cringes at names than end in "i". Estee would have looked too bougie I suppose.

I think Luna & Miles is a really sweet set

I would have loved if it were flipped to be Maxine Esti. Or even using Esther or Estelle as a full name and calling her Esti. Esti as a full name looks awkward and incomplete. Not really a fan.

Esti Maxine sounds like some kind of chemical. Like maybe an ingredient in cough syrup or something.

Maxine is great. Esti in my world is short for esthetician so doesn’t seem like a name to me.

While Esti is listed on the site as being an independent Basque name, I can't help but interpret it as a nickname for Esther. Because of this it seems a bit informal to me, but it's not a bad name by any means. And Maxine rocks!

I heard about it earlier this morning. Not awfully impressed (especially coming from them) but its not bad at all really. I just don't like the way Es-EE Max-EEn run into each other. I like Estiñe, and Maxine is a favorite of mine, so it's only fit that I like it, but I can't say I do. That said, it doesn't go bad with her siblings names and I like Luna Simone, Miles Theodore is good.

Esti just stands out in a way where Luna and Miles are more familiar, but it's not everyday you hear Esti.
