HelpRe: Esther questions
in reply to a message by Dracotorix
I picture a young woman who's calm, collective, and has a good future, but who is not very fun.
I would think that the baby came from a religious or traditional family who doesn't really like to try anything new. I think she would she would grow up to be a kind and smart person.
I like some of the nicknames that others have suggested. I don't like Essie or Estie. I'd call her Es, Tess or Tessy. But Terry is also there...and strangely enough, I keep wanting to use Seth, which is a boy name. Esth is an anagram of Seth. I like that.
Esther and it's variants are not very feminine to me, so that might also be why I like Seth as a diminutive for Esther. It doesn't help my impression that Esther and her variants rhyme with Lester, Chester, Kester, Dexter, Vector and Hector, all masculine. I think that this name is only considered girly by the general population because of the TH sound in the middle, and because Esther from the Bible was a female.
If she had been given a different name, perhaps Esther would've been given to boys first, and then parents would've been angry that An Excellent Boy Name was being Ruined By Trendy Parents. Lol
I don't have any Esther to honor.
For an actual daughter: Esther Esmée, Esther Hermione, Esther Mariah, Esther Julianne/Julianna, Nikola Esther
Ones I just like: Esther Renesmé, Esther Sophia, Esther Madeline, Zenobia Esther, and Kezia Esther.
