Is this dated now?
Are we oversaturated with Esmé's?

Love the name but am hesitant.

My DD(17) is Esme (Ez-May)

A few months ago I met a Renesmee

Mumsnet thinks this is a real marmite name!

Lovely name. Not especially dated - or at least no more than any of the other names that aren't classics like Elizabeth, Emily, Charlotte, Alice etc. The Twilight thing's a blip few will remember imo - Esme more likely became popular on the back of other 2 syllable, vowel heavy names - Ellie, Ella, Elsie, Evie etc

Small issue is that people will often miss the accent off since it's not on a lot of keyboards- but the 2 different pronunciations may be more annoying (although that hasn't stopped the popularity of Maya, Evelyn etc)

I like it, but only pronounced Ezmee. Don't like the Ezmay pronunciation.

Absolutely this.

And dear lord no phonetic spelling. I know an Esmae, an Ezmé and an Esmay. All wrong.
