It's alright. It does have a faddish/fashionable aura about it, along the same lines as names like Adele and Thora - "sweet antique" names, fanciful and Euro-sounding but also conservative, like they're after someone's grandma. I've encountered 2 toddler-aged kids named Esme (not sure about spelling) and it seems plenty normal enough. My daughter's name is vaguely in the same category, although it's rarer. I think I'd probably let Twilight stop me if I was considering using Esme, but I'm just that way ... it doesn't really matter. I never considered it because I feel like the sound of it is just sort of awkward in my mouth.
