In the US, this sprightly variant has been waltzing into the top 1,000 since 2009, flirting with the charts around ranks 900–950, with 19 little Esmays lighting up birth certificates in 2024 alone—and boy, does it sparkle!

For parents craving a moniker as heartfelt as a cozy hug and as jaunty as a skipping stone, Esmay delivers a dash of French romance wrapped in pure Anglo-American spirit.
