Esme’s Name

We spent a long time thinking about names, but there was one name that was on every short list: Esme.  We’re pronouncing this “Es as in ‘Pez’” and “me as in ‘you and me’”.  There is an old French version with an accent and a different pronunciation, but apparently neither version is very popular anywhere at present, which is another advantage.  The name’s history isn’t well known.  Mostly, we just really like this name.
