Re: Vashti
in reply to a message by Pie
I have known two in Australia. It's what the Americans might call a "kick-ass" sort of name, since the biblical Vashti was a spirited character who disobeyed her royal husband. Good for her!
For the latter reason I'm surprised it has been so long in use - perhaps the Puritans admired her for refusing to disrobe for the benefit of her husband's guests!
I reckon Boaz and Ezra and Kezia and Merav would make good sibling names - I have no idea how to pronounce Kezia though.
