HelpRe: Esmé vs. Esmée
in reply to a message by Theodora'sMommy
I really like Esmée. As a French Canadian, yes, it does bother me a bit when I see Esmé or Esme used, but mostly I just think it's odd. I see that with René/Rene/Renée, Jean/Jeanne, and Noël/Noëlle a lot. The spelling issue is the reason I'd never use it. My family is bilingual (French and English) and it just wouldn't work.
My SO and I have considered Esmeralda with the nn Esmée. We were watching The Worst Witch on Netflix, and there was a lovely character named Esmeralda, who went by Esmée as a nn. We fell in love with it. But to answer your question, it would depend on the character and show (is the character annoying, for example). In French forums, they ALWAYS bring up Twilight for the name Esmé(e). I don't know if that bothers you. It doesn't bother me, personally, but I know many people who despise that franchise.
