We have decided to call our little girl Rosie Esme. There seems to be confusion on the pronunciation of Esme, the name is after a family member who pronounced it Ez-mee. We would like it pronounced Ez-may to go with Rosie. Any ideas?

I'd pronounce Esme-Ezmee, Esmé-Esmay and Esmée -Esmay.

Esmée is the correct spelling for a female Esmé in french. Having said all that I have an Esmé ;)

My niece is Esme, ez-may. To be honest have never heard it any other way except on here.
