[Opinions] Re: Esmé vs. Esmée
in reply to a message by Theodora'sMommy
I'm mostly neutral about them, or put them in the ok basket.
The masculine version / feminine version thing doesn't bother me, my daughter was named Evelyn and that was originally used for boys. The "extra" 'e' just looks "extra" to me and unnecessary as I'm so used to seeing it written Esme.
I don't think many people would bother with the accent these days? I could be wrong.
Using Esme as a nn for Esmeralda doesn't work for me, too different names in their own right. I like Esmeralda! I would use Essie or something else.
I personally wouldn't name a child after a popular kids show character. Looking at the stats Esme is "trendy" and on the up these days.
