Haddasah or Esther
Curious what name people prefer the sound of? Esther is the Babylonion name of Esther in the Bible.
There are other people from the Bible who also have two names but I think Daniel versus Belteshazzar would be a bit easier to guess people's preference...
Shadrack vs Hananiah
Meshack vs Mishael
Abednego vs Azariah
Naomi vs Mara
Jacob vs Israel
If you have other preferences please share

when it comes to just Hadassah vs Esther, I much prefer Hadassah especially since, as the story goes, it was Esther's name before she had to change it to assimilate.
I do prefer Mara to Naomi.
Other interesting ones that come to mind:
Abram to Abraham (prefer Abram)
Matthew/Levi (prefer Levi)
Sarai to Sarah (prefer Sarah)
Dorcas to Tabitha (prefer Tabitha)
Simon to Cephas/Peter (prefer Simon)
I do prefer Mara to Naomi.

I prefer Esther to both Hadassah and Hester. I don't enjoy any of the others listed: Naomi is OK but only just.
I thought it was spelled Hadassah. I like the name but I prefer Esther.
Isn't it spelled Shadrach? Hananiah
Isn't it spelled Meshach? Mishael
Azariah
Naomi
Jacob
