Help[Opinions] Re: Hester and Bridget
in reply to a message by Tiggs
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. :)
