Esmé

Esmé, with its accented 'e', brings an extra touch of French flair to the more commonly seen Esme. It shares the same meaning: 'esteemed, beloved'. While it's the same name at heart, the accent gives it a slightly more exotic feel and can appeal to parents seeking a subtle yet stylish twist on a classic. Like its non-accented counterpart, Esmé has literary ties and a chic, timeless quality. This name is recognized but not overly common, making it a sophisticated choice. The pronunciation and spelling are straightforward, ensuring its ease of use in a variety of countries.
