HelpEsther
in reply to a message by Lily
For the record, I don't like Esther much either, but I'd take it over Astor any day.
I find Esther and Astor very different, both in sound and feel. Esther is soft and round, Astor is harsh and jagged. Esther is traditional and biblical, Astor is just another surname. Esther has that obvious and pretty ES- beginning. Astor starts with that prominent ASS-. Esther comes with a rich history and a worthy role model. Astor is associated with the wealthy Astor family and not much else. I think the difference between them is obvious, but, sure, an Astor could sometimes be mistaken for an Esther. People can be careless, and Esther is more familiar.
Astor makes me think of the Titanic and the Waldorf-Astoria. I really hate the sound of it, but if I liked it, I'd go with Aster rather than Astor. At least then I'd get a pretty flower image.
