Esher (as either girl or boy?)

[Bigfam]

Apparently it's more common as a boys name, but there were only three baby boys given the name in 2013.

I know it's a place. Is it weird? (I'm not really sure why I like it) but I really do.

I live right next to it. So I really wouldn't. It's not terrible just a bit blah. Sorry!

Makes me think of that painting of maddening neverending staircases, think the artist was Escher? I would google but i'm on my awkward-as-arse phone.

Nooo, it's a place in Surrey!

Esther?

Yep, station between Hersham and Surbiton on the mainline into Waterloo! Weird.

Never heard of it...so neither gender?

When i first read it, i thought it said Esther.

I like Aster, which is similar?

Aisha?

It's a place isn't it? Not keen. I live quite near an Ashton though and people are called that, so...

Don't name your child after a dull as shite commuter town

What about Esther? Aster? Astrid?

Or at a stretch, Guildford?

Looks like Esther misspelt

I know of an Eshton (boy).

Were you a fan of the tv series Continuum?
Only place I have ever heard it.

It's hebrew, no? YOu'll get everyone pronouncing it as the Surrey footballer friendly town, and not Esh - er.
I guess it's better than Oxted.

Ds has a friend called Escher. And we know an Asher.

But Esher is a not very nice town.

What about Ashley? That can be boy or girl.

My daughter is Esther and she is 6, and I get lovely comments about her name...I think esher will be too easily confused with Esther ...not good if you have a boy he will not thank you for it

There are two Eshers at the nursery I teach in, both girls.

Ah yes, I've met an Esha (girl)

DetestableHerytike didn't think of spelling it that way, seems obvious now, that's got to be the easiest way to pronounce it right.

As long as you don't live near the town.

Esher...College
