Esmeralda?

DH suggested the name and thought it will suit DD2 as I picture her with dark brown hair and light olive skin like DD1 and we also have a Spanish last name.
I would not like to shorten the name though if we did use it.
Reading reviews on the name though makes me doubt this choice. Is it that bad? Thought it's sweet and fitting for DD but many people hate it in forums or say good choice for nickname Esme. Do not mind Esme but it's so popular I would prefer DD to go by full name... In general love somewhat unique names but not so uncommon that they end up being too strange.
Is Esmeralda a sweet fitting baby name? Or an OMG horrible, what did you name your child?

Don't like Esmeralda at all, sorry. It's OTT.

Esme is meh, but better than Esmeralda.

The bells! The bells! (to be cried in a Quasimodo voice)

Esme is lovely though.
