Esme or Esmé is a name (usually a first or given name) which may or may not be spelt with an accent on the e. Although more commonly a feminine name there are examples of male Esmes.
The name possibly means "esteemed" or "loved" in Old French. Possibly originating from French root word 'aime' meaning like or love (as in j’aime). Esme, could also originate from Esmeralda meaning "emerald" in Spanish. In 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' by Victor Hugo, Esmeralda is the Gypsy girl loved by Quasimodo.
So the boys at Devereux School thought that Esmé was not an appropriate name and changed her name to Sakaura.
Sakura or Cherry Blossom (Japanese kanji and Chinese character: 桜 or 櫻; katakana: サクラ; hiragana: さくら) is the Japanese name for ornamental cherry trees, Prunus serrulata, and their blossoms.
I have a feeling that the veterinary records of this cat started when she was first taken in by the animal rescue officer and her estimated date of birth is 01-01-04, making her 4 years old instead of the 2 years old we were first told. She's still a kid, as her behavior prooves. So we did get the records and she has all her vaccinations, etc. up to date until the end of May.
