Which do you prefer?

Esme is nice - Esmae will be constantly misspelt as pp suggest. Savannah is not my taste (prefer similar sounding Susannah).

Bopahula · 02/05/2021 20:04

Savannah. But I'm biased as it's DDs middle name.

BackforGood · 02/05/2021 20:02

Not keen on either, but definitely not a wrong spelling of a well known name.

Esmae

4Minions2CallMyOwn · 02/05/2021 19:49

Esme spelt like that. I have one and it’s been fine, no confusion over pronunciation.

That said if you’re certain you want to spell it Esmae then I prefer Savannah as no one will ever spell Esmae how you’d like

wanderedlonelyasacloud · 02/05/2021 19:43

Hmm I think I prefer Esme if spelt like that and pronounced "ez-mee".

If spelling it Esmae and pronouncing it as "ez-may" then I prefer Savannah.

AuntieStella · 02/05/2021 19:40

Savannah

(Or Esme, but I'm not wild about names with more than one pronunciation because I know I'd get red up with explaining/correcting)

Wolfiefan · 02/05/2021 19:39

Esme. Spelt like that.

LadyMacbethWasMisunderstood · 02/05/2021 19:36

Esme. But spelt like this.

8dpwoah · 02/05/2021 19:36

Esme spelled properly is my preference, Savannah is better than Esmae for me.

Creativewriter · 02/05/2021 19:32

Esmae love it

KirstenBlest · 02/05/2021 18:13

Neither. Both are a bit downmarket.

GreyhoundG1rl · 02/05/2021 18:13

Esme. But don't spell it your way because no one else on the planet will.

EL8888 · 02/05/2021 18:12

Esmae

Synchrony · 02/05/2021 18:11

Savannah because I dislike Esme pronounced Ez-may or quirky spellings

FASDE1517 · 02/05/2021 17:31

Savannah. Esme is very overdone (in my opinion).

Retrievemysanity · 02/05/2021 17:23

Esmae but prefer the Esme spelling

Savoretti · 02/05/2021 17:21

Spell it Esmé if you want it pronounced like that

MooseMoose · 02/05/2021 17:19

Esme, spelt like that.

LunaL0veg00d · 02/05/2021 17:17

Esme
