Re: Esther

Congrats!
Esther: I like it! It is a little dowdy and prim, but that gives it personality. Esther is one of those names that seems to have two sides to it - when I read it, I don't like it that much, because the "sth" part makes me cringe a little. Because so few people are named Esther these days I only ever saw it written, not heard it said aloud, so for a long time I thought I didn't like the name. But hearing it pronounced, it's shiny and bright, and I like it quite a lot! I think I might prefer Hester a smidge more, but Esther is a nice name.
Lily & Esther is a pretty duo; very "nouveau Edwardian". I hope we get to find out the middle name when it's revealed!
