HelpEsmeree
I just came across Esmeree in an online Arthurian name dictionary. I kinda like it, but it also makes me think of Renesmee. Thoughts?

I like it better than Esme. It does look like a misspelling though. It would be a character name more than an actual person. It sounds very pretty.

All the sources for the story it's in seem to be French, so I'd spell it Esmerée and pronounce it ez-mair-AY. It's very interesting, but nms, as I'm not a fan of Esme(é).

Yeah, I was thinking of Renesmee only with the names switched.
But where did you get an Arthurian name dictionary?? *drool*

I was waiting for someone to ask me that. : ) It has a little bit about each character/place and gives a source abbreviation. The source page gives the work it's from.

Blaghh! Too close to Renesmee to me.

Yep. Exactly. Isn't it a shame Twilight ruins everything?

I keep seeing Renesmee mentioned everywhere, so I just now googled it. Ugh. I can't stand Twilight, so I'm just going to pretend Renesmee doesn't exist.
That said, Esmeree looks like it should be Esmerée. It seems like the beautiful, magical lovechild of Esmeralda and Esmée. I love it!

The site I looked at just said Esmeree, but I believe it should be Esmerée as well. She is a character in Le Bel Inconnu by Renaut de Bâgé.

My first thought was "Esmeree and her sister Renesmee". I don't like it.
1
nope don't like it, I automatically thought of Twilight and Renesmee (what whas Meyer thinking?)
1
I like it too. It's very enchantress-y. But yes, it does bring up Renesmee associations. Does it have an accent? is it "ez-mer-AY" or "ez-mer-EE" (or something else? those would be my first guesses)

She appears in Le Bel Inconnu by Renaut de Bâgé. There were no accents placed on her name, but because of the French origin, I'd assume ez-mer-AY.
