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 really liked it but found that older people seem to say Ess me whereas younger ones say Ez May and I didn’t like that it wasn’t immediately obvious to all

If I had had another girl, she would have been Esme.

Lovely name. Don't let popularity put you off using it.
