I have allowed more than one vote per person on my little poll on the side there... now... strangely The MR's choice of name seems to be winning....... hmmmmmmmm
I personally dont think Esther matches our last name.. and of course Australians dont pronouce ER... all I can think of is Festa Esta... lol.. but that is my humble opinion :)
Esther has always been on my short list for girls names too but if Australians don't pronounce the ER that would change my mind. Trying to remember the other names you had on your list post. Eve is our oldest daughter's name so that's a good one. ☺ My husband's cousin had a baby girl they named Eden which I though was beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHmmm... definitely something fishy going on....
ReplyDeleteGood Luck with the name picking!
How often does the Mr. check your blog
ReplyDeleteI really like Esther more than the others so maybe he's not rigging it if there's a few more like me!
ReplyDeleteEsther is one of my favorite names. How about Helen? I love that one too. It's not very common here, I don't know about Australia.
ReplyDeleteI am all over Maybelle!! I'm a huge fan of that one for ya!!
ReplyDeleteI loved Esther until my brothers pointed out it was too much liked Chester the Molester...once that was in my head I couldn't use it!
ReplyDeleteThere are some nice names amongst Mia's school friends...mostly European. So if you are still looking for some girls names that are a little different they are:
Beata (pronounced Bee-art-a)
Constance
Lila (pronounced Lie-la)
Greta
Libertad (Spanish one...bit too far out there for me!)
Collette
Marta
Sophia
Petra
Astrid
Katharina
I put in a legitimate vote for Esther. It's my favorite, but didn't think about how it would be pronounced there. I do think it is a lovely name though, and love names with meaning, particularly Biblical. And it has role-model appeal. I agree a little about your last name, but they're not horrible together, and she probably won't keep your last name forever.
