Help[Opinions] Re: Hester
in reply to a message by Bear
I like Hester! I too think of it as hip - for me, it's the funkier version of the potentially faith-heavy Esther.
some combos! I like pairing Hester with offbeat, zippy names to help encourage the "I'm the fresh, new Hester" vibe:
Hester Zoe
Hester Lucy
Hester Kitty
Hester Clio
Hester Liza
Hester Ivy
Hester Vera
Hester Daisy
Hester Phoebe
Hester Tansy
Hester Sylvie
Hester Julie
Hester Lily
Hester Cora
Hester Odelia
I think Hester Daisy might be my favourite. Hester lends Daisy solemnity and Daisy lightens Hester up prettily. I'm getting a strong wooden and sensible fairytale vibe from it. I also really like the artless warmth of Hester Julie.

OMG
Hester Julie!
I had forgotten where I first learned to love the name Hester. "The Forsyte Saga." The eldest sisters are Ann, Julie and Hester. That completely flies in the face of my "hipster vibe" not because they are old characters, but because the whole point of the book is that the Forsytes are ossified by their love of property. But I can't help but love this combo. This may be "it" as far as Hester goes.
Other stellar combos:
Hester Phoebe -- They seem so natural together
Hester Lily -- Is their any name that Lily doesn't go with?
Hester Cora -- solid
I'm in your debt for Hester Julie. I must remember to watch those episodes again . . . .
