Esme

I’m probably going to be a minority on this thread, but I prefer the spelling Esmae to Esme. The reason why I prefer such is that Esmae has phonetic spelling; Esme looks like it should be said, “Ehz-mee” (which I despise). Plus, I think that Esmae is very fun to write, in print or cursive.

Didn't know this was unisex, I've only known girls with this name. I like both pronunciations, but I like the Ehz-May pronunciation a little more.

Actually kind of pretty.

Lovely, classy name.

I love Esme! It’s so sweet and refined!

I never really cared for it. But now that I think about it, Esme is a beautiful name. I really don’t care for the feminine spelling Esmée or whatever. This is fine the way it is. The meaning is also wonderful. I would be happy to consider Esme for a girl if a partner loved it. Either pronunciation is fine.

Esme is adorable.

WoW! Exotic, unusual, refined name! I love it a lot!

So pretty! I love it!

I’ve never heard this before I keep pronouncing it Es-mee because of the spelling so that’s how I would say it but I like the name Esme Lucille.

Annoying how this name is becoming very popular now, but still so pretty— honestly I don’t blame those parents haha XD I like Esme a lot! It’s a very nice name and has caught my interest recently ^.^

This name is nicer pronounced ehz-may. According to my parents, this name is “rare” when it isn’t lol.

This is like the rich person version of the more beautiful Amy.

Nicknames for this could be:
Ez
Mae.

This is my name, and I love it. I pronounce it EHZ-mee, and I think EHZ-may is too showy. I have met several EHZ-mays but never any EHZ-mees. My friends call me Eggsme.

Awful Name.

I absolutely love this name.
The way I'd pronounce it would be ez-mee, but I can definitely see it being pronounced ez-may.

This is my twin's name and I really like it. The only thing is that often people put an accent on it and pronounce it wrong, which annoys her. We know lots of Esm-ays but not many Esm-ees. Most that I hear in public are little kids, so maybe it's growing in popularity. Anyway, it's pretty.
