Which variation do you prefer, Esmé (EZ-may) or Esmée (EZ-mee)?

I prefer Esmee. Esme just sounds contrived to my American ears.

Ditto, although I have never heard of this name in my country (France) lol

Although Esmé is properly male...it seems more feminine. hmm...

Esmé for a boy, Esmée for a girl

Because it's a French name. Esmé for a girl is akin to René, Aimé, or Désiré for a girl imo.
