Esmé

[Frydaycryday]

Is this dated now?
Are we oversaturated with Esmé's?

Love the name but am hesitant.

do you mean emeralds and then esme as the shortened version? both are nice...
my family have a cat called esmeralda... very sweet

My DD(17) is Esme (Ez-May)

A few months ago I met a Renesmee

Mumsnet thinks this is a real marmite name!

Lovely name. Not especially dated - or at least no more than any of the other names that aren't classics like Elizabeth, Emily, Charlotte, Alice etc. The Twilight thing's a blip few will remember imo - Esme more likely became popular on the back of other 2 syllable, vowel heavy names - Ellie, Ella, Elsie, Evie etc

Small issue is that people will often miss the accent off since it's not on a lot of keyboards- but the 2 different pronunciations may be more annoying (although that hasn't stopped the popularity of Maya, Evelyn etc)

Absolutely this.

And dear lord no phonetic spelling. I know an Esmae, an Ezmé and an Esmay. All wrong.
