I don't like either of them. Hester reminds me of Fester and Hesper just sounds like the first one pronounced incorrectly.

Esther is nice though

What about Hephzibah?

Hester. Hesper is an anagram of Herpes. Normally anagrams aren't a problem but that one would be a bit too close for comfort.

Hesper will probably sound like you are trying to say Hester.

Hesper always sounds a bit lispy to me.

Fridgedooropen · 29/09/2017 16:27

Do you mean Vesper? Never heard of Hesper.
