Don't mind me.. i'm in a mood to be snarky.

But the name Esme sounds like a mexican speaking poor english. Es Me? instead of It's me.. get it?

Is it a family name, cultural name? *you see us american folk is ignent*

I do like Madeline Grace tho.

For the boys names I like Elijah Zachary and Zachary Elijah.

With the other names they seem too wordy. (tho I'm probably not pronouncing zachary correctly.. cuz when *I* do it's two syllables instead of 3!

Anyway.. that's my .02 :)

I don't know about everyone else, but the way I pronounce Esme is "EHZ-mee" so I never really thought of the "es mi?" thing which is sort of funny now that you pointed it out. It's not a family name or anything, it's just a name I came across when I was about 13 or 14 and fell in love with it. It has different meanings, depending on which culture you're taking it from (in French it means "esteemed" or "loved," Spanish it's "emerald" -- short for Esmeralda, and the Anglo-Saxon version means "kind defender"). But yes I do need an "E" name and I always loved that one. I appreciate your input though, for sure! That is why I asked, after all. =D
