I’ve recently fallen in love with this name and it’s gone straight onto my list of top picks for a future daughter. From reading the comments pages for the other variants of this name it seems whether or not to include the last “e” is a topic of debate, but I think I’m inclined to keep it (though I’m honestly torn about whether or not to include the accent).I don’t care much for the possibility of mispronunciation, or for the fact that the name is literally 60% the letter “E”. It’s a beautiful name, sounds lovely, and makes for a refreshing choice.
Esmee could be a nickname for Esmonda or Esmeralda.

I like this name a lot more than Esme because it looks a lot more feminine, like Renee and Rene and such. I think it sounds like the name of a very beautiful person with blue eyes and brown hair.

I love this name when pronounced EHZ-MAY. I hate that parents are starting to name they're daughters Esme pronounced EZ-MEE. Whenever I hear the name EZ-ME, I think the parents didn't know how to pronounce EZ-MAY correctly.
It's quite pretty, and I came across a baby Esmae.

I adored this name until the Twilight series became a fanatical circus. Now I'd be terrified to use it. People would assume I'm an avid fan of the series.

Yawn. This name is overrated, even though this is the proper feminine form. I don't like it because it reminds me of the similar-sounding "name" Renesmee (which I strongly dislike).
This name is certainly a breath of fresh air. In Scotland the male version was used sometimes, dating from the 16th century and the "Auld Alliance" between Scotland and France - and as a result it was occasionally (in the male version, with only one e) given to girls. I hate it with only one e, as it's grammatically masculine, but it's quite pretty with two ees, the correct feminine way. If using this name for a daughter, I think it's important to make sure that the registrar registers the name with the double e and the correct accent.
Very lovely name! Gorgeous! Esmée stands for:Exquisite Sexy/sweet/super Magnificent Enlightening ExhilaratingIf you are thinking about using this name, go for it!
