Seen this name on a lot of baby name sites is it said Es(me) or Es(may) or something completely different?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Ez-may, definitely.

Es-May unless told differently. Don’t really like Es-me

I always say Es-May, the two I know are pronounced that way.

Have known people with both pronunciations, and would wait to hear someone else say it or check pronunciation if I'd only seen I'd written down when meeting a new person

Es-may. We have friends who spell it Esme and some who spell it Esmay and both pronounce it the same. I think the one off sewing bee is also Esme pronounced Es-may

I’ve heard it both ways. Esmay seems the more common but I prefer Esmee.

I would pronounce Es-May unless told otherwise, but that’s just because the few I have met have all been Es-May’s.
