[Opinions] Re: Esme
in reply to a message by Milly
I can't imagine Esmé as a feminine name because of the masculine ending. Anyone who knows French probably feels the same way. IMO, it's strictly Esmé on a boy and Esmée on a girl. I agree that Esmé has a feminine quality to it, but that doesn't prevent me from seeing it as a fully masculine name.IMO, Esmay looks mispelled and unintellectual.

agree fully...I guess it's like Noel and Noelle, and Jo and Joe. One spelling is male, the other is female. Also, please do not go and spell it Esmay.

I agree too.Also, May is a nice nn, but it doesn't need to be in the original name imo.
