Aha - thank you for that explanation. I speak British English, and here the word has a quite different meaning, specifically relating to men only - hence my confusion when seeing it used by someone called Anne :) See the first paragraph of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esquire Thanks, Antony. -- "Can you keep a secret?"
