I wouldn't think Esme would need a nickname but I would say Essie, Emmy or May.

How are you pronouncing Esme?
If it’s like Ez-may you could turn the syllables around and call her Maisie.

Nicknames evolve naturally; that's the point - I have a friend whose nickname is, oddly, Tits - she's called Bronwen and Bron means breast in Welsh. No parent would have chosen that, but she (and we) love it

My Esme gets called Ez and Ezzie but I mainly nickname her Esmerelda which I don’t think is what you’re looking for

Ezzie
Mimi

Nicknames just happen. And they don’t necessarily have anything to do with the actual name.

Also this is making me think of the Blackadder episode with the woman called Kate, which was short for Bob. Apologies to everyone too young to know what I’m talking about!

I have an Esme cat, she gets called Ez.

Why would you choose a short name like Esme and then call her something else.

All the Esmes I know are just called Esme. Could you give her a ‘J’ middle name and call her E.J? That’s all I can think of.

Dismay

Sorry - Sir Terry fan here:
Esmerelda
Esmerelda Weatherwax

Hardly a shortening but a cracking nickname.

Why name her Esmé if you're already looking for another name? Nicknames evolve naturally, if at all.

I like Esmeralda.

Isn't Esme short for Esmeralda anyway?
Why would you want a nickname for a nickname?

My cousin Esme is usually known as Esems or Essie. 😊

When you find a nickname you like, why not call the child that name?

Sorry I don't mean to offend, but so much time is spent trying to find a suitable name, then next off the bat is "what will the nickname be?"

I love the name Esme and I doubt I would shorten it at all. Classic name if a little old fashioned, but that's ok, it will become fashionable in time.
