I think it could definitely work! I think just about anything with [name_f]Mae[/name_f] or [name_f]May[/name_f] could easily be nicknamed [name_f]Maisie[/name_f]. I’m with you on this one, btw. I absolutely adore the name [name_f]Maisie[/name_f], but would want something more substantial to put on the b/c (and I’m also not a huge fan of [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]). [name_f]Esme[/name_f]/Esmée would be perfect for that 
Sis, I’m glad i’m not the only one that likes this combo… I like the name [name_f]Esme[/name_f] and it just hit me one day maybe I could throw [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] (a name I love) into the mix as it seems to fit.
Yerp, no issue here. The ‘may’ sound of [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] is in Esmee(inc accent) so it works fine.
renrose I think so as well, However I just wanted a some more opinions to make sure it wasn’t too outlandish
Honestly I think it’s a bit of a stretch but it could work. I think that if people use [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] as a nn for [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] it could work for Esmèe/Esmerée.
[name_f]Maisie[/name_f] could work at a nickname for [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
Curious to know why people are thinking this is a stretch? In my mind…
‘ez-may’ > ‘may’ > ‘may-zee’
…makes total sense.
Renrose That’s what I thought as well… it is just a rearrangement of some of the sounds in the name as they have alot of the same letters in common.
In my mind it makes perfect sense
Yeah, I’m with [name_u]Ren[/name_u]. It totally works. I guess if you say Esmeree really fast you might not hear a “may” sound, but that’s not a problem for Esmee.
