Do you know anyone with my potential baby name

Hello,
Esme is the frontrunner for our baby's name.
But I'm a bit confused as to whether it's popular or not. It's currently mid forties on the charts but when I've spoken to people they say that they know of quite a few.
Could be regional thing?

It would be great if you could let me know if you know any (and their ages) and also if you don't know any at all!

Thanks

I’m a nurse in an emergency dept, we see hundreds of Esme’s or Esmae’s or Esmay’s or Esmee’s.

I know one. She's 11. It's a lovely name

4Minions2CallMyOwn · 27/10/2020 20:43

I have a DD called Esme, she is 1. I love it, it was my Nan’s name and I always said after she passed if I had a girl I’d use it. However with the whole Twilight fad I was a bit put off as the name has became much more popular and used. But it’s a gorgeous name I don’t for one second regret using it Smile

Oh and we are in London

I know one who is 7. She and her family pronounce it es-ME, whereas I grew up with a neighbour and another family member named Esme who both pronounced it es-may (different regions so different pronunciations).

BertieBloopsMum · 27/10/2020 20:37

I know a 16 yr old Esme. South East England.
