Esme or Sophia

[HellobabaEsme]

Can’t decide for my baby girl which name to go for ?
It has to be Esme ( Esmay ) pronounciation don’t like it being said how it’s spelt .

Sophia

I prefer Sophia.

Sophia. Mainly because I would always pronounce it the way that you don’t want it pronounced.

I mean I would pronounce Esme the way you don’t like.

Sophia.

Can’t be mispronounced.

Esme

Sophia is beautiful

Sophia. In my experience Esme is most often pronounced the way you don't like so there's no point calling her that.

Esme, both are pretty but Sophia seems to have exploded in popularity lately, my 2 year old has onky a handful of friends but 3 are called Sophia/Sofia.

Esme

Sophia

Love both but would have to be Sophia for me. Our 2nd DD was very nearly Sophia.

Esme. Could you consider spelling it Esmae to avoid pronunciation issues?

The accented é makes an 'ay' sound (so Esmé) but unfortunately most British won't know that..

Sophia can be mispronounced. So fee a or So fi a.

But I prefer Sophia either way over Es may

So fie a isn't a mispronunciation. It's the english pronunciation but now becoming less frequent.
Esmée is the spelling I prefer.

I've never heard Esme being said anything other than Es-may! It's a lovely name

Sophia

For me its all about how you are planning to pronounce it. If Esme Is Esmee then Sophia. If shes going to be Esmay. I much prefer Esme.
Hope that makes sense. That's not an insult to your intelligence, BTW
. I'm just crap at explainin things.

Sophia.

Esmé is a boy's name. It needs to be Esmée for a girl.

Sophia, because I'd pronounce Esme the way you don't like.

Esme is a boys name,
since when
