Comments for the name Nesta

Pronounced NEST-ah.

On August 21, 2008 musicians Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale welcomed into the world a baby boy named Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale. Another famous bearer is reggae legend Bob Marley, who was originally named Nesta Robert Marley.

In the Mates, Dates series by Cathy Hopkins, one of the main characters's name is Nesta Williams and she is half Italian and half Jamaican.

This name sounds ridiculous on a boy, since it's a Welsh girls' name. It looks more feminine with the A at the end, and it kind of reminds me of "nest". I don't care for it.

Before I realized that this was already a name, I thought it would make a great nickname for Clytemnestra. I like Nesta by itself though, too.

I absolutely love this as a nickname for Earnestine.
