Hester?

I like traditional / old fashioned names - but is Hester going too far? I’ve always thought it was beautiful!

I know a little Honor, it's a lovely name and nobody thinks it's odd! You should go for it if you like it.

Hero and Lettice really would be weird though.

Hester makes me think of someone with a chesty cough. I don't think it's a nice sound. What about Ester, if you feel Honor would be too "out there"?

Haha, that’s ok! I have strong opinions about names so I can take the reverse Grin

I similarly like Hero, Honor and Lettis but wouldn’t be brave enough to use any of them!
