Re: Your thoughts on...
in reply to a message by SJayne
I like Esme and would have used it as a mn, given enough daughters. It's a family name of a deceased relative, and also the name of a totally wonderful teacher at my high school. It's very dated here in South Africa, but so what?
Can't be positive about the other two. Declan isn't the worst Irish name, but in general I avoid Oirishry. Emmett sounds like an insect or some subterranean life form, certainly not human at all.

I don't think Esme is dated here. I think it is an old lady name, but not a hugely popular one for that generation so I don't think it has the dated feel to it luckily.
Haha I love your comments about Emmett. The description is perfect!
