This made me laugh, because I actually knew a woman who was fifty, looked older (though I don't think quite seventy), was a heavy smoker, had a deep raspy voice and lined skin, both due to her smoking. Her name wasn't Hesper, it was Debra nn Debbie. You could tell she'd been really beautiful when she was younger, and the thing was, she was still quite an attractive woman. I would rather have had her looks than mine, raspy voice, lined skin, looking older, and all. It just occurred to me that it's funny, upon reading all of those attributes, one automatically assumes "unattractive", but it's not necessarily so!
Anyway, Hesper doesn't have that image for me. It just strikes me as a very old-fashioned name that has fallen out of use, along the lines of Clara or Ida. I don't particularly like the sound of it.
