Would you say Es - mee or Es - may?

Anyone with an Esme? Do you have to constantly correct people?

Ez-may

I have an Esme (we pronounce it Ez-Mee)

Lots of people comment on what a beautiful name it is but I am finding that people tend to pronounce it Ez-May, unless corrected.

I also say Ez-may.

The only Esme I knew was Ez-mee (South London)

If the accent is used then the name should only be pronounced ez-may.

I had a pal at school who was Esmé pronounced Ez-mee. Lovely name!
Not sure if it's the accent that instructed the pronunciation?

I would pronounce it ez-may. I think the may/mee pronunciations are both legitimate.
