Esmé

[stircrazyabc]

Do tug like the name Esmé?

You not tug!

I do, it was on my shortlist. However the conflicting opinions on spellings and pronunciation of it put me off

Love it! With that spelling too. Shame I never had a girl.

I like the name but find accents on letters in names such a faff.

Yes, but very common in the last 5-10 years.

Not a huge fan. It’s inoffensive but overdone.

Not a fan. Way over done the past ten years.

Depends on how it's pronounced.
Ez-mee (dispise)
Ez-may (adore)

I don't really have an opinion on it tbh, it's too frilly for me but there's nothing wrong with it.

Oddly I know 5 under 5 in our area and all the parents seem to think it's unusual

Nice but getting quite common now

I hate the way most English pronounce it!

It's Es-meh

There's NO ay sound!!

And there no ee sound either...!

I have a friend called Esme, she doesn’t even know/mind how it’s pronounced now and never corrects anyone. In our friendship group we all say it differently. Her mum says Esmay so I go with this but siblings Esmeeee.

I like it

I have loved it ever since reading Terry Pratchett books where one of the main characters is called Esme.

Accents are a PITA (speaking as someone who has to fill in forms on computers).

But Esme is lovely.

Love the name Esme-I know someone with that name and she is one the nicest people I know

Its a very pretty name, l love it.

I love it, I also love Elsie.

I have a friend called Esme, she doesn’t even know/mind how it’s pronounced

That's because it's a French name and the pronunciation is difficult/impossible for English speakers.

I think it's a lovely name, especially with Ines as a middle name.

No I don’t like it personally. It’s also really popular.

Yes. My mid 20s daughter is called Esme. Very unusual when she was growing up.She loves her name as well. Pronounced Esmee cannot stand Esmay but each to their own.

It’s fine...but not with an accent

My partners daughter is called Esma, I think it's the most beautiful name and much nicer than Esmé. He is Turkish.
