Is Esther cool and strong...

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

it’s… a nice name? Not drab, but cool and strong don’t especially spring to mind either.

It seems to be getting quite popular

It's purple to me too but a strong beautiful colour. I really like it. Similar vibe to Harriet, Jean, Ruth, Hester, Stella, Thea, Miriam imo.

I think it sounds gentle and calm. I quite like it and know two.

I love it. Only one I know is early thirties, amazing person. Tho I also like Hester which is a bit more out there!

Just in case you might be worries about the reaction of your potential Esther to negative comments about the name, I have just shown mine and some of them and she is killing herself laughing. No damage done, she's a very cool, strong, independent and secure young lady.

Love this!

I love it. It feels strong to me. And the fact it has such a mixed reaction on here makes me love it more.

Me too!

If everyone was loving it i'd be worried it might get a bit too popular and lose it's charm.

I love that enough people think it's strong and cool for to to feel that I'm not wrong about this, but enough people dislike it that it will keep it's 'well known but not overdone' thing.

Very drab I'm afraid

I really like it, I like Essie as a shortening too. I think she'd be a cool teenager

vjg13 · 31/07/2022 10:54

I also really like Estelle, Stella and Astrid. Names mentioned on this thread.

Snog · 31/07/2022 10:35

Esta?

StartupRepair · 31/07/2022 04:55

Love it. Cool and strong. Considered it for DD.

andpeggy1 · 31/07/2022 04:53

I've always loved Estelle as a cooler alternative

StClare101 · 31/07/2022 02:47

I like it! I’ve always liked it.

RockinHorseShit · 31/07/2022 02:27

Yes.

I've known 2 & both were very intelligent, strong & beautiful women who we're very successful in their male dominated fields

I always think of names as colours and Esther is a grayish mauve.That said, it isn't a mean girl name, it does have a sweetness about it, albeit a sort of cardigan-y sweetness.

SirenSays · 30/07/2022 23:31

Hate it. Makes me think of mothballs

stitchinguru · 30/07/2022 23:28

It’s my Mum’s name, and therefore my daughters middle name (Rosa Esther).
I like it.

RosieRainbow1986 · 30/07/2022 23:24

I know an Esther (in her late 40s) and she's fab!!! A kind and caring person who is always there to help - so associate these qualities with the name! She's also cool and chic! I really like the name!!

Antigonesaunt · 30/07/2022 23:12

I love it

JaninaDuszejko · 30/07/2022 23:05

Really good strong name, not common but well known. I like it.

Meem321 · 30/07/2022 23:03

It's very biblical.

That may be the vibe you like.

DieDeutschLehrerin · 30/07/2022 23:03

It's our daughter's name, so clearly it's a winner for us. She is seven and an absolute bright spark. She is strong and confident and we think the name suits her immensely. At the end of the day it's personal choice. No one has been ever been anything but complimentary to us about it, which is as it should be - if you can't say anything nice etc. If they don't like it, well there we are - it doesn't really change anything. Esther likes it and so do we. I have a very common 1980s name - usually at least 4 in every class but I still like it, even though it would be dull to most. If you like it, go for it.

justanothermummma · 30/07/2022 23:00

I'm biased.. I love it as my 1yo is called Esther.

I went to school with an Esther and always loved the name.

I was after an 'older' name - it suits her.

She is wild, fun and independent not drab (but she might be when she's 90?!).

Not everyone will like what you choose. So choose what you like and do so with confidence.
