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 an 18 year old and 2 5 year olds. My issue with the name is that I never know whether its pronounced Es-mee or Es-may, I know people who pronounce it both ways.
