Re: Harper, Hester, Hilary
Hester is old fashioned, not overly used but still familiar, and makes me think of a well meaning elderly lady who dries herbs, knits, and has at least three cats. Hester Prynne isn't my favorite protagonist, but she doesn't bother me either. Harper is shrill. Yes, Harper Lee is an influential author whose work "To Kill a Mockingbird" deserves its status as a classic, but the name makes me think of someone aggressively harping on their harp.Hilary - The meaning hilarious is a bit strange. The sound of the name isn't particularly pleasant, and it is very tied to politics at the moment.Hester wins.
