HelpRe: Harper, Hester, Hilary
in reply to a message by Billina
Hilary. I like the sound best, and my best friend in school was Hilari.
Hester next. I generally dislike -er endings for girls, but the first syllable is nice. It sounds very old-fashioned to me, so I wouldn't use it.
Harper, never. Don't like any part of the sound, don't like last names as first names, don't like how trendy it is.

And last of all an Admiral came,
A terrible man with a terrible name,—
A name which you all know by sight very well;
But which no one can speak, and no one can spell.
Robert Southey, "The March to Moscow"
