Similar sounding names but which is better (IYO)

I really want to call my DC3 Esme, and had also considered Amy. I like Esme best, but both are lovely!

I like Esme, but it's fairly trendy round here and you have the obvious problems with the 2 different ways of pronouncing it. I can never remember which child is Ezmee and which is Ezmay.

I don't know an Amy under about 25 but it's very pretty.

Esme, just has that little bit more about it...IMO

How do you pronounce Esme? Is is Ez-May??

Definitely Esme, love it, don't like Amy at all though it's only now I realise that they do sound similar.

I love them both, and we have them both on our girls name list!
Esme is slightly more unusual I suppose, or certainly is here anyway, Sorry can't help because they are both lovely!

I like both, tbh. But I would pick Esme.
