Esme

I’m really loving [name]Esme[/name] at the moment. [name]How[/name] do you pronounce it? I know ez-may is the “right” pronunciation, but ez-mee makes more sense to me. And What kind of person do you imagine when you think of [name]Esme[/name]? Sweet? Spunky? Beautiful? Thank you!

I pronounce it ez-may. I picture a sophisticated girl who is smart and kind…with brown hair, haha.

It sounds exotic and international, to me.

I think its a beautiful name and I kinda picture a sweet and spunky girl

This is my daughter’s name, we pronounce it ez-may. I would describe her as sweet and energetic, and of course we think she is beautiful! :slight_smile:

I’ve had to train myself to say ez-[name]MAY[/name]! I much prefer ez-mee personally, but I wouldn’t want my daughter to get the whole “you say your name wrong!” thing from teachers and fellow students, or really whoever. Besides, the ez-[name]MAY[/name] pronunciation honors my grandmother, so I’m trying to grow to like ez-[name]MAY[/name], though I think my heart will forever be with ez-mee. I do love the name, though, and I keep coming back to it over and over lately! I’ve been thinking about it as a MN, maybe for [name]Liliana[/name] or [name]Eleanor[/name]. I do really love it.

I love this name and think either pronunciation is beautiful.

I love this name, but I agree with pp that I would use the EZ-may pronunciation.
