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 of 5, 1 toddler, 3 10 year olds and 1 30 year old

Two aged 17 here, both pronounced Esmee. Mum of one calls her Ezzy sometimes. I'd say not a common name (v. Ellie, Lily, Rosie) here but not too out there. A similar name to Esme in terms of niceness and popularity here is Orla.

One who would be about 10 now, I'm in Northern Ireland.

I know one toddler but it’s such a lovely name. Just go for it, if you love it that much you won’t care that there are others.

My teenage cousin for one, and there was one in my DD’s last nursery. I wouldn’t worry though if you love the name. My DD’s name is well outside the top 100 and has the same name as the little girl next door!

It's quite popular in my village I know a 5 yo, 3 yo and 8 yo. Its a lovely name.
