Esme

[Fisharefriendsnotfood]

What do you think? I heard it yesterday and Dd (4) said it was "the prettiest name in the world"

Previous favourites are Clara and Annabel

I like it, and Clara & Annabel are lovely too.

My friend has a daughter called Ezmie. It's pronounced ezmee. I prefer Esme pronounced Ezmay

I agree with your dd :)

Esme is a witch in terry pratchett novels. Wouldn't put me off tho, short for Esmeralda. Annabel I don't like as I think of the doll, baby annabel. Wasn't Clara off pigeon street? Esme is the best of the 3 I think.

Lovely name, particularly with an accent over the last 'e' and so pronounced 'Ez-mey'. I think it's becoming popular now, but so what? It means 'esteemed and adored' which is just beautiful, IMO.

Love Clara and Annabel, too :) Tough choice!

Love Clara and Annabel.

Not keen on Esme I'm afraid, it's rather faddy and sounds harsh with the Ezz sound. Esmerelda is horrible.

Thanks Ladies, it seems nice that dd will have chosen it

Only 24 weeks so lots of time to mull it over

Beautiful name. Very pretty.

I love Esme, one of my favorite names (but I had a cat called this so can't bring myself to reuse it for a child).

If my bubz is a girl it is deffo Es-mee Ez-mee or Ez-mei cant decide lols!

I love Clara and Annabel!

Esme - I like but it has recently become very popular around here. I have heard both variations of pronunciation and prefer EZ May personally!

One of my favourites. Very pretty.

I think all three names are lovely. Esme very nice, and not popular where I am.

Esme is lovely. I prefer it out of the 3 with Annabel 2nd but all 3 are great. Nice for your dd to have chosen it though at least it wasn't captain gooballs

Love it but then i am biased, my Esmé (we pronounce it Es-may) is 20months. I chose it as the name for my 1st daughter when i was 15, im now 27.

It is sooo popular now. I know four.

I love Esme (pn Ezmee) and Clara. Annabelle is awful.

Can't believe it's popular in some places. The Esme we met is about 60.

Esmee is lovely. Anabelle is ick.

Christ, spelling??
I mean Esme and Annabelle.

I love Esme (pron Ez-mee) - it's one of our top choices.

I love it - Is a friend of ours eldest DDs name - she's 12 - she is clever, creative, very very feisty & pretty to boot & if she's anything like her Mum, which she is, she will do very well in life - it would have been on my shortlist too had we not know friend :)

I think your dd has good choice in names! Esme is a lovely name :)
