Stella, Seren, Hester or Vanessa?

(Not all Welsh. But we had a conversation this morning that took a left turn and just wanted opinions)

Realised you might want opinions on your list rather than more options for it.

I love Seren. Quite like Stella too. Not decided about Hester. Dislike Vanessa because of a bitch at school so not really a proper reason at all. All are good IMO.

Hester, love it but an acquaintance would have thought we were using it in honour of her so couldn't!

My preference from favourite to least would look like this:

  1. Hester (love)
  2. Stella (it's just ok)
  3. Seren and Vanessa (don't like)

I'm reading a book at the moment called The Seven Sisters, all named after stars, I prefer your list though, particularly Hester.

The sisters in the book are:

Alcyone (Ally)
Asterope (Star)
Calaeno (CeCe)
Taygette (Tiggy)
Electra
Merope
