Not due till April - so in no rush.

Just wondered what people might think of girl's name Hester ...

Don't like it

Love it.

I'm afraid it makes me think of Hester the Molester. But you'd probably need to be a John Irving fan for that to be an issue.

Ha ha ha ha!

My thoughts exactly. Hester is awful. It never ceases to amaze me how people want to ngive a beautiful new born girl an ugly granny name.

Although I may be thinking of Heston.

DioneTheDiabolist · 16/12/2010 00:06
