I would definitely go with Esther. Astor feels quite masculine to me, and I've always been fond of Esther. I do have a friend with the name -- she's still in high school, so it's probably not as rare on young people as one might think. The imagery I get from each is completely different. Astor is predominantly silver and periwinkle blue, while Esther is more warm and earth-toned.

Perhaps you might consider Astoria as an alternative to Astor? I get the exact same feeling from Astoria though it's feminine. Might want to avoid that one if you're from the Pacific Northwest, though (why I couldn't use it).
