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)
