DH's favourite name is Esme. He's liked it for ages, even before I was pregnant. I really liked it too and we were pretty set on it, but over the last year or so I've noticed it's become quite popular, obviously because it is a gorgeous name but I think it also has an association with a baby in Twilight?! Someone at work recently commented a friend of theirs had announced their baby name as Esme and others commented "oh there's loads of them around at the moment" and "oh yes, like from twilight?". This has sort of given the name a bit of an association for me and I've gone off it, although the rational side of me knows it won't matter in 5+ years, it's still affected how I feel about the name! My current favourite is Erin (which DH does like too). However, DH has mentioned today that he still really likes Esme and its his favourite. What to do?! Any enlightening thoughts?
