I love Esme but DH doesn't want to use a contraction. Is there anything other than Esmerelda out there?

Esme is a name in it's own right? Your dH does understand that, no?

I'd say Esmeralda - I like it.

Agree with others, Esme is most definitely not a contraction. It's a name.

Renesmee?

sorry, couldn't resist it, lol.

As already said by everyone else - most definitely a name in it's own right.

Well it's a Scottish female form of Edward!

So, Edward?

My friends little girl is Esme Oriana, beautiful name on it's own! Esmerelda reminds me of 'Hunchback of Notre Dame'! x

Was wondering if anyone would say Renesmee - just makes me think of a scary baby with teeth! Esme is a beautiful name no need to lenghten I think. One of my favourite stories "for esme with love and squalor"

Sorry but Esme is so totally overused here (SW England).
