Why does Renesmee have two e's at the end anyway. Esme only have one e

this is something that has always bothered me tbh.

I mean, technically, the “correct” French spelling of the feminine name is “Esmée,” while “Esmé” is the masculine form. but US birth certificates don’t allow diacritical marks, so it makes sense that they dropped that. and the simpler “Esme” spelling has been more popular (“popular” here being an extremely relative term) for centuries, especially as the usage of “Esme” on males has dwindled to practically nothing.

so ok, suspending our disbelief enough to believe that a woman born in the american midwest in 1895 is named “Esme,” that spelling checks out. but then we get to...Renesmee. here are all of my in- and out-of-universe explanations for what could POSSIBLY have led to that spelling:

the extra “E” comes from the ending of Renee rather than Esme

Bella, despite being a disgusting heretic when it comes to making up dumb franken-names, is a purist when it comes to French spellings and wanted the Proper feminine suffix of Esmée

stethoscope mayer wiener didn’t think “Renesme” looked girly enough for her precious paragon of enfant terrible femininity and tacked on an extra E because that’s what mormons do, they make names Worse (or in this case, “still equally bad but now with an extra E”)
