Is Esther cool and strong...

[Clairewentoverthemountain]

Or drab?

Hmm, it's not a favourite of mine I have to be honest.

I've never liked it, always makes me thing polyester.

*think

Drab

I don’t like it at all it’s an old old lady’s name

Lovely name, I knew one growing up (I'm 35) same she was properly cool. Bit alternative, slightly aloof, comfortable in her own skin. Of use it, if DH let me!

I love Esther... probably because the woman I've grown up with, names Esther, is absolutely cool and strong (as well as a load of other stuff too)

It is very cool and strong. If that is the vibe you are going for you have nailed it. Good job!
Also Harriet and Ruth, by the way.

Yes i love it

Drab and downtrodden.

I know a 10yo Esther. She's bright, hard-working, and quietly says the most outrageously funny things with a twinkle in her eyes.

(She's not mine.)

Lovely name

I mean it's nice, but it makes me think of a Sunday school teacher or similar. I don't think of it as cool.

Love it

I like the name. It's got a lot of strong woman history behind it, too.

It’s dowdy and boring, sorry.

How about Erica instead?

Love it

I really like it and think it's a strong, cool and elegant name.
I'd like to be an Esther and would consider it for a daughter.

I love it. It's unusual but not weird, strong but elegant. Works well for a kid or an adult.

I love it!

I like it!

Great name

Polyester
It sounds a bit lispy and prissy to me

I teach in a girls school and only came across one Esther which is a bonus in my opinion. Love the same!

I like it :)
