I never really cared for it. But now that I think about it, Esme is a beautiful name. I really don’t care for the feminine spelling Esmée or whatever. This is fine the way it is. The meaning is also wonderful. I would be happy to consider Esme for a girl if a partner loved it. Either pronunciation is fine.
Mrs. Esme Cordelia Hoggett is the wife of Farmer Arthur Hoggett and the owner of Babe the sheep pig who appeared in Babe and Babe: Pig in the City. She is played by Magda Szubanski.
There is a character named Esme in the A Series of Unfortunate Events book series. She's the guardian of the Baudelaires in The Ersatz Elevator and Count Olaf's girlfriend from The Ersatz Elevator until The Penultimate Peril.
I think Esme is a very cute unisex name even though it’s predominantly a female name.

Annoying how this name is becoming very popular now, but still so pretty— honestly I don’t blame those parents haha XD I like Esme a lot! It’s a very nice name and has caught my interest recently ^.^
This is my name, and I love it. I pronounce it EHZ-mee, and I think EHZ-may is too showy. I have met several EHZ-mays but never any EHZ-mees. My friends call me Eggsme.
This is my twin's name and I really like it. The only thing is that often people put an accent on it and pronounce it wrong, which annoys her. We know lots of Esm-ays but not many Esm-ees. Most that I hear in public are little kids, so maybe it's growing in popularity. Anyway, it's pretty.
