Esmae (Esmé?) or Saskia?

Saskia is a fantastic name!

Saskia - such a vibrant, dynamic name!

They're both a bit try-hard.

Trying hard to what?

I would choose Saskia just because I’ve looked after a couple of Esmes and there’s too many ways to say it. Ezmay/esmee/esmy etc. Spelling it Esmae obviously makes it more likely you’ll get the right prononciation but then you’ll always be correcting the spelling! Plus overall I just think Saskia is really nice and sparky!

Esmae works well in England as the pronunciation is very clear. Esmé will get mispronounced as Es mee.

I love Saskia.

Not keen at all on Esmae.
