Whoa, so many good ones!
Again, I have to agree with everyone else: Hester Muriel is a winner! Love her!
But I also love Hester Florence, Hester Leona, Hester Vivian and Bridget Leona, Bridget Maxine, Bridget Syliva.
And I think I like Bridget Viola, but... as embarrassing as it might be, I'm never really sure how to pronounce her in English (blushing).
Great list, thank you!

Oh, so glad you like them. I had fun hunting for them! My pronunciation of Viola is "VIE-uh-luh" where I luxuriate in the first syllable and the middle syllable is just barely there. I think this may be a British, or maybe even Shakespearean, pronunciation but I can't say for certain. Back in the 20s, it may have been "vie-OH-luh" or "vee-OH-luh" that was popular. :)

Blushing...
...thanks. But these weren't off the top of my head or anything...I just went to the popular names for the 1920s and did my best to pick and pair. Wanted to get Myrtle in there but the flow just doesn't work. As soon as I saw Muriel, I saw a bright star shining above the sea...then jumped straight to "Peter Pan"...because that's only logical... ;)
