Adding wildcards to the shortlist...

[AliCanTea]

We have 2 fairly standard (but lovely, I think) names on our shortlist for girls. However I've just come across the names Caspia and Hestia and have had my head turned... Haven't put them to DH yet and don't want to confuse the poor man if there's a reason we shouldn't use them. Any thoughts?

I think they're both hideous, sorry!

Not good, OP tbh. Sorry!

Meh

I really like Caspia!

I'm not keen tbh

They’ll be constantly mistaken for Casper and Hester.

Hestia is lovely (although auto correct just tried to turn it into Jesus, which is slightly putting me off...)
Caspia, I'm not so keen on.

Hestia is a lovely name.

It was my 2nd favourite but I think it sounds like a brunettes name and that wasn't likely for us.

Can anyone say what it is they don't like about them?

Caspia is a ghost and Hester Blumental. No

OK, OP : Caspia just sounds awful and made up. I hate Caspar, too (but, oddly, like Caspian!). And the first thing I found when googling was this: "Caspia is a genus of marine snails, brackish water snails and freshwater snails with a gill and an operculum, an aquatic gastropod"

Hestia, sounds like a messy nest, or a haystack. Or hysteria. Why not Esther?

Sorry, you did ask!

Good luck finding the perfect name

Thank you CBA2RTFT Didn't know about the snails thing...

Hestia was the Greek goddess of hearth and home.

I really like Hestia. As was said, Greek goddess of the home.
The slugs and snails thing would put me off Caspia.
Hester and Hesper are nice as well.

I generally like a wild card but I think Caspia and Hestia are awful.

I love Cassia as an alternative though.

I like Hestia :) And the name Cassia as mentioned above
