Uhm I'm really sorry but I really don't like either of them! Are those your only options.

I read Hesper as Herpes (I blame my eyes and small iPhone font)

I think they are both awful, sorry.

There was an 80s sitcom called Fresh Fields with a middle aged woman character called Hester and it makes me think of that as well as former RBS boss Stephen Hester

Hesper just doesn’t look right

Love Hester! Hesper not so much

Another vote for Hester.

TBH, i have never heard of Hesper, and I imagine she would have to spell her name all the time, and that people would misspell it as Hester, anyway, which I know from experience of having an unusually spelled name, really can be a PITA.

God I love the name Vesper.

Anyway OP, I think go for Hester.
