Re: Harriet vs. Hester
in reply to a message by pike
I would go with Harriet. I would use the nickname Hattie, which I think is adorable.
The H sound in Hester makes the name unappealing, but I don't mind the -ester part. If it were Esther vs. Harriet, I would choose Esther.
Combos:
Harriet Pearl
Harriet Diana
Harriet Josephine
Harriet Doris
Harriet Theodora
Harriet Jamesina
Harriet Cordelia
Harriet Clementine
Harriet Susannah / Susanna
Harriet Georgia
Hester Naomi
Hester Fiona
Hester Claudia
Hester Diana
Hester Josephine
Hester Camille
Hester Jamesina
Hester Clotilda
Hester Cordelia
Hester Caroline
Hester Beatrice
Hester Thomasina
