Esmée, though I don't like the name. But this spelling looks much more feminine.

I like Esme

Though I know Esmee is technically correct, I think it would confuse the pronunciation in the U.S. so I would stick with the incorrect, but more frequently used Esme.

I prefer Esmé. Beautiful name by the way. You don't see it too often. Where I come from it's not a boy's name.

I have seen Esme more often, but seeing as that is technically the male version, if I ever decided to use the name, I'd feel it necessary to use Esmee. :b

If you're definitely going to use the accent, Esmée would make more sense. But in an English-speaking scenario, just Esme is fine as a girls' name. I'm reading "The Disappearing Act of Esme Lennox" at the moment so I've got Esme on the brain :-)

I've never heard Esme on a boy or even seen Esmee, so I think it depends on where you live and what you're used to. Thus, I prefer Esme. Also, is there a pronounciation difference?

Hi i am in the Uk where Esme is imensely popular now - every other girl seems to be called Esme - but they all only have one 'E'.
Does it really make a difference?
i would say just the one 'E' but maybe it is because that is what i am used to.
love Clara

Once upon a time...Esme was the male version. It's been a while, rather like Lesley and Evelyn and so on.
