Esther?

[spottygreen]

Please tell me what you think of the name Esther?

I'm not due for a few months so just getting ideas.

I really like it, husband is not sure but he doesn't dislike it, It's just not very common where we live.

Honest opinions please?

No, awful.

Love it - strong and elegant. I almost chose it as my confirmation name (picked Martha instead).

I like it but prefer Hester. I love Hettie as a non.

I think it’s a really unattractive name. Similar to Hester and Ethel, granted not as bad.

Nn not non

How about Aster, Ada, Estie, Etti, or Vesper?

Love it. One of my favourite people is called Esther so remibds me of her.

It's very pretty. I love it!

It's too far the other way from pretty and frilly. Frumpy in my mind, though not as bad as Hester.

I like it. As previous poster has said, the Biblical Esther was an amazing woman.
I also like Hester, the 17th cent English version.

It's my sister's name, it really suits her. Lovely choice

I like it a lot. I know two teen ones. Also like Hester.

@spottygreen hi just wondering if you went with the name Esther in the end! We are thinking of that name for our second daughter due December!

I like it. Strong, classical, elegant.

I really don't like Hester, but couldn't tell you why!

My partner in crime at Uni was called Esther. Coolest woman on the planet with a cool name too.

I like it. It has a strength to it.

Really gorgeous.

I love it actually!
