[Opinions] I think of three characters in literature.
in reply to a message by Bear
Hester from A Prayer from Owen Meany by John Irving- her nickname was Hester the MolesterHester Prynne from The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthrone Hester Latterly - the partner/wife of literary detective William Monk, created by Anne Perry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Monk)All of these characters were created beautifully - I find it hard to separate the name from them. I would probably really like it and have it on my list - if I didn't have the connection of 'Hester the molester' in my head. Damn John Irving!

Hester PrynneHester Prynne is my primary association. In a hypothetical world where associations mean nothing, Hester Guinevere would be amazing.
