I pronounce it as EZ-mae. It's more of a 'z' sound than a 's' sound. I think Violet, Millie/Milly, Celeste, Felicity, Phoebe, Gideon, Bennett, Nathaniel, Toby/Tobias and Oscar all sound good with Esme.

I pronounce it ez-may.

I've always said Es-Mee and this is how I've always heard it. I guess if it has an accent over the e then it could be Es-may.

I've always pronounced it Es-May. Es-MEE sounds odd IMO.

I prefer Es- MEE. Never heard it pronounced Es-MAY.

First of all, I would spell it Esmée, since that is the feminine form.

I would pronounce it either "EZ may" or "ez MAY".

I love Esme and I pronounce it EZ-may.

I think it sounds softer and prettier with the -may sound instead of -mee.

I say it more like EZ-may. It feels awkward to me to put the emphasis on the second syllable for some reason.
