Re: Hester
in reply to a message by Billina
It always makes me think of "Wreck of the Hesperus" and of a helter-skelter rain storm.
I find the H superfluous to Esther.
I seem to have had a great-great aunt who was named Hester and wound up as Henrietta - or the other way around. In any case she was known as Hettie, which I suppose is cute in its way.
Hester plus a frilly mn would be my suggestion, to relieve the rather austere plainness of Hester.
Hester Lavinia
Hester Leilani
Hester Rosalind
Hester Rosamond - this is my favourite, with its stately and slightly medieval vibe.
Hester Violetta
