I love it.

In fact, I'm wondering why I didn't use it!!!

I know two Esthers.

One is Essie and the other Esther.

Nesta?!

Love Esther
actually like Hester too!

I love Esther, as it is my mum's name. She doesn't shorten it, but her friend shortens it to Est!

My mum often uses it in conjunction with a shortened version of her middle name so it becomes double barrelled IYSWIM.

Well it's been top of my list for if we ever have a DD for about 6 months!
Love it (but secretly hope it doesn't become too popular!)

Lovely name. Traditional and underused.

love it

My Grandmothers and my aunts name. I love it. Not used enough.

I like it. I think really pretty pretty names have dominated for a while and I think strong names like Esther are going to be an antidote for some people who are choosing now iykwim.

Ettie is horrible though imo. Don't use that. Esther is so much nicer.

Love it. It would be top of my list if I ever have a girl.

I think it's quite ugly, but am obviously in the minority here.
