Do you know anyone with my potential baby name

Hello,
Esme is the frontrunner for our baby's name.
But I'm a bit confused as to whether it's popular or not. It's currently mid forties on the charts but when I've spoken to people they say that they know of quite a few.
Could be regional thing?

It would be great if you could let me know if you know any (and their ages) and also if you don't know any at all!

Thanks

I know one who is 7 or 8.

I've met a few others who would now be about 20.

LauraMipsum · 27/10/2020 19:51

I know of two amongst my extended friends group (so friends of friends I keep in touch with on social media, rather than friends I see regularly - I've never met either of the Esme's in question!) One is three and the other is newborn.

I think it's a lovely name.

HappyDinosaur · 27/10/2020 19:52

I know 3, one is 5 and the others are toddlers.

EThreepwood · 27/10/2020 19:53

2 aged 10

cherrybrakewell · 27/10/2020 19:53

Thanks, also if possible could you say which area of the UK you're from? Not too specific, trying to get an idea if it's a regional thing
