Replies

I love Hester, have for a while now.I think Angela's lovely but it's been close to ruined for me by a very un-lovely woman. I like Angie too.
Alexandra is a very wonderful name, and I like without a nickname.Angela is a gorgeous, amazing girl's name.Hester is so classy and underused, nowadays! I've had a name crush on Hester for a long while.Willow is pretty, and I like that it's close to my name (William)...but, it's so common nowadays.
Alexandra is a lovely name with plenty of nickname possibilities.
Angela is okay but I prefer Angelina or Angelica.
Hester is outdated and all I can think of is Hester Prynne from the scarlet letter.
Willow is okay. It’s not my favorite nature name but it isn’t too bad.
I prefer Angelina and Angelica as well, but I think Angela is a nice alternative for people who don't want super long names!
Alexandra - I think this is one of the most beautiful names ever! Absolutely elegant and underrated.
Angela - I think anything that contains "Angel" is stunning!
Hester - This name isn't bad, but it's not one of my favorites. It's definitely due for a comeback, though!
Willow - I think this name is absolutely lovely! Definitely one of the best nature names. It has a sweet but adventurous feeling to it.
Alexandra: I like the name, but I would call her Alex. Yes, I am one of those unwashed, uncouth peasants who likes nicknames, lol.Angela: Chase. It's a pretty name, though, and much better than Angel.Hester: I like how "ugly" it is. I wish it was used more, maybe as a middle name if not a first one.Willow: Meh. It's been used so much, it's lost its spark. You want a nature name for your kid, but you still want them to fit in...I get it, I get it.
Alexandra is boring. Angela is pretty, but boring. I don't like the sound of Hester. I love Willow but wouldn't use it.
I love Hester, really like Angela, and am bored by Alexandra and Willow.
Alexandra - dynamic and statuesque yet unadventurous. Has a grounding effect in combos and a couple easy NNs. Has innate flair, although that's very muted by familiarity. Blends in so well it's almost like part of the architecture.Angela - sugar & spice, Renaissance still life or 70s soft rock. Mundane kind of the way Laura is except more angelic plus Angie is sassy. I think I prefer it as a NN for Mariangela or Michelangela, but I'd not assume it was.Hester - gnarly, texturized, breezy, cloying, stylized in a way that could be antique-chic but could be garish and oblivious. Works with classics like Anne but would be really interesting to see paired with modern fads like Oakley or Nevaeh or with quirky obscure historical names.Willow - billowy, nurturing but severe. Makes classic names seem more modern and free-spirited in combos and is weighty enough to work with them, makes fad names more approachable and organic seeming.I don't dislike any of them.

Alexandra - I'm biased. I love Alexander & Alexandria, they mean a lot to me.
Angela - I'd strongly prefer Angelica, but again I'm biased - good associations.
Hester - reminds me of sharp shards of glass or stars.
Willow - I'm not a fan of the sound of this bittersweet name.
