Do you know anyone with my potential baby name

[cherrybrakewell]

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'm in East London /Essex Borders. I know of the name, but don't know anyone called it. Lovely name. Lots of Sophias and Olivia's here, both lovely names too.

I know a couple. One is 12 abs one is 7.

one adult female in late 40s.

I know two 10 year old esme’s and one 50 year old. Also ten years ago a woman in front of me in a queue at the hospital one day was a roughly 80 year old esme. And i once years ago heard someone been called over to her friends, she would be in her 30’s now.

3, London, aged 11&12

One Esme. She's 3.

1 nine year old.

Honestly she's gorgeous inside and out x

SW and know one 6 year old

SW London. I know one who’s 3, and one 79 year old. It’s not as popular as Isabella/Sophia/Ottillie, which seem to be a the most in names at the moment.

Also really don't want the Twilight association! I would pronounce it Es-Me if we used it. Maybe there are more Es-Mays these days because of Twilight?!

I know 1, she's in her 50's.

It doesn't matter how you'll say it, once she starts school (or even nursery) all beds are iff, so if you don't like EsMay, I'd suggest you choose a different name.

Bets, not beds!

She's 4 and adorable. It became popular after the last twilight film

I know one who's about 80.

In my part of London I'd put Esme with Evie and Edie in terms of popularity for babies, the Ava's around here are 6/7/8 along with the Islas. Far more baby Esme/ Edies and even Evie is losing popularity.

I know 2 one is 18 and the other mid 20s.

I know one. She is 2

I wanted to call our DD Esme but my OH has a aunty with the same name who doesnt speak to the family so it was a no. She's in her 50s I believe. I had a little girl in my class last year with the same name, she's now 6. Lovely name.

I know one in London

I know a lot -

50 odd year old
28 year old
7 year old
5 year old
2 year old

I'm in the NW

I don’t know any but I really like it. I had no idea about the twilight association.

I'm in the North West. I have an Esme, I know 3 primary age Esme's and one in early 20's

I know one who is in her late teens

I only know of it through the Twilight books. In fairness, they all had good names - Edward, Bella, Jaspar, Alice, Jacob, etc. As long as you don’t go with the horror that is Renesmee, you’ll be fine. Esme is a lovely name.

I know a 14 Yr old one in the North East, and one in her 70/80s in Surrey

My 21 Yr old daughter is Esmée. Her dad calls her ezmay, I call her ezmee or ezzy. She doesn't care which, she was about 6 when we met the first other esmee. It is old French feminine form for beloved, and I love that. Strictly speaking I think Esme is a masculine form. I'm in South East.
