Ha! Bear, I had a feeling I could count on you! ;-)
You are definitely not the only
Hester lover - I'm totally smitten with her, I really am. I like
Hazel, too, but
Hester - my heart belongs to
Hester. For her sassy attitude and her energy ;-)
And what a great list!
I love
Hester Sibly,
Hester Bryony,
Hester Isobel (this is so dramatic),
Hester Glynis (awesome!),
Hester Freya,
Hester Theda.
I agree with you,
Bridget is pretty resistant, isn't she. Very hard to flapper-ize.
Nonetheless,
Bridget Nell is just great! And so are
Bridget Talulla (the first time I can see this name's charms, by the way),
Bridget Clare and
Bridget Lucy.
By the way, what do you think of
Gertrude?
