Hesper

[FartnissEverbeans]

What does everyone think of Hesper?

I’ve always liked it but never considered actually using it. I like the sound of it - it seems soft to me, like the word ‘whisper’, and I like its meaning (it comes from the Greek word for ‘evening’. The Hesperides were nymphs in Greek mythology and Hesperus is the name of the evening star).

I’ve heard some people say it sounds witchy, which I can understand, or that they don’t like it because it has a hissy sound.

Thanks

I would like Hettie

Makes me think of the schooner Hesperus, and consequently the Hesper Schoonerus from a Just - William story. Possibly a niche association. I wouldn't let that put you off if I were you.

I prefer Hestia

Reminds me of a snake?

I kind of know what you mean!

No. Sounds like a hiss when said aloud. Hester is great.

But doesn’t Hester have the same hissy sound and therefore the same problem?

I’m not mad keen on Hesper. I do like Hester or Esther though. Do you like either of these maybe. They sound sort of less lispy and whispery.

Hepzibah an option?

I think it’s cool. I like the whisper effect. It’s original without being yoonique.

Don’t like Hester. Too harsh. Combination of heckler and pester.

No-one will like it on here. They’re very conformist and only like Ella, Ava, Rose, Olivia, Grace, Elizabeth, Eleanor...
