Re: Hadassah & Mordecai
in reply to a message by ari.
Well, as you know, in the Bible, they weren't siblings, Mordecai was Hadassah's cousin & guardian.
Thoughts on them? Hadassah a Jewish Slave was the main character in a Christian historical fiction book by Francine Rivers. If you're an avid reader, you might have come across the book. I have no thoughts on the name barring what was portrayed in the Book of Esther. Hadassah (Esther, as her name was changed) is a clever, fastidious Jewish girl who rises up from nothing to become the queen consort of King Ahaseurus of Persia and saves her people with the help of her wise cousin, Mordecai, form extermination by a vengeful Haaman.
Would I name a brother and sister that? Unless I were a staunch Jew, which I am not, then no. Way too heavy, I think. Plus, it would just feel like I'm advertising my knowledge of the Old Testament..
Nicknames for Mordecai, does not exceed "Cai" or "Kai". Mordy?
Cannot for the life of me come up with a nickname for Hadassah.
