Esther
Hey, I'm writing a story and need some help. I have the last name for the main character already, Bennett. The name changes to something else later, so her name must go well with Jude. So that leaves the first and middle names. However, the middle name cannot be one that is used with the first (i.e. Carol Ann). I was thinking Esther, but I'm not too sure that it would fit. The character is kind of insecure. That's to say she's sure of herself, but she doesn't really think that others will accept her.So perhaps someone can help me come up with a name? I'd really appreciate it. Esther Anne
Esther Mimosa ?

I prefer Esther Anne Bennett.
I think Anne would fit very well with your description of her. Mimosa would, in my opinion, be too out of the ordinary, while Anne makes her a little more soft and...cute. If that makes sense.Esther Anne Jude. It doesn't sound all that bad, but maybe something is missing... Maybe it's the two short names next to each other. I don't know. If you intend just to use "Esther Jude" in your story, I'd say it would work out just fine though. Some other suggestions for a middle name could be Annabelle, Nannie or Maryanne? I think those would go well with both of the last names.I hope that helped :)

Thank you for your comment. It's much appreciated. =)I was thinking Esther Anne would be better also. (Besides, the Mimosa thing sort of popped into my mind at the last second.) I see what you mean about it missing something....the shortness in general. But I do intend to just use her first name. I just wanted her to have a middle name in case it cropped up. It really did help. Thank you again.

How about:
Vita
Jeanna
Shoshana
Vianne
Dora
Hazel
Ione
Charlotta
Meredith
EvelynEsther is an adorable name, but I'm not sure about how it flows with the last name Bennett. Esther Bennett is a bit rhyming.
Out of your combos, I much prefer Esther Anne.

Thank you for your suggestions. I see what you mean about the Bennett part, but it doesn't matter for long because her name changes almost instantly after the story begins.Another person commented on the name seeming too short, and that's true. Esther Anne was the first name that came to mind out of everything, but I'm considering Vianne. It would give her full name more substanance and meaning. So Esther Vianne Jude.Thank you again. =)
