I love the name Esme. I watch youtube- The Ingham Family- be sure to check them out Esme is one of the daughters. I love her she is so cute and lively!

Esmé Stuart, 2nd Duke of Richmond, 5th Duke of Lennox 2 November 1649 – 10 August 1660.

Esme Raji Codell is a well known author and children's reading specialist.

Esme was the name of the half-sister of the protagonist in the book Whispering to Witches by Anna Dale. It's a shame Twilight came out, because before that, Esme was not a very well known name at all, and I was planning to use it for a future daughter after reading Whispering to Witches, but now many people know of its existence.

On the television show Dexter, there is a character named Esme Pasquale who replaces Maria LaGuerta as Lt. for a short time. Played by Judith Scott. This character is overly emotional and disabling to the strong, capable, female image for the department until the former Lt. takes back her position. Though her name is spelled with one 'e' at the end, which is ironic.

Esmé Cecil Wingfield-Stratford (1882-1971), British writer and historian.

Esme Anne Pratt Evenson Cullen (known as Esme Cullen) is a vampire in the popular saga "Twilight", by Stephenie Meyer. She acts as the mother figure in the Cullen coven, and her husband is Carlisle. She was born in 1895 and changed into a vampire when she was 26. Before she had been changed, she jumped off of a cliff after her baby died (Carlisle changed her when she was in the hospital morgue-- still alive, but barely). She has an ability to love passionately, and it's almost impossible not to like her.

Also in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Saga, Bella's & Edward's daughter has a name that is a hybrid between Renee (Bella's mother) and Esme (Edward's mother-figure). The daughter's name became Reneesme, which I guess is pronounced ren-EZ-meh.

In the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett, Granny Weatherwax is called Esme, short for Esmerelda.

English actress Olivia Williams has a daughter named Esme Ruby.

American Actor Michael J. Fox named his fourth child Esme Annabelle.

Actress Katey Segal and her husband, Kurt Sutter, welcomed Esmé Sutter on January 10, 2007!
