[Opinions] !!!
I thought I was the only Hester lover. This is welcome news indeed. I love Hester's energetic side. She's like a zippier Hazel. And Bridget is fresh and breezy. Love her too.Hester Julie is my stock combo. They are two minor characters in "The Forsyte Saga," two sisters. I did a thread on this a few weeks back and everyone was giving me the best combos for Hester. Shoot. I don't know how to pull it up. Maybe someone else can help me out. For now:Hester Minerva
Hester Sibyl
Hester Pearl (intended)
Hester Bryony
Hester Carys
Hester Lena
Hester Amabel
Hester Isobel
Hester Glynis
Hester Gwyneth
Hester Freya
Hester Lily
Hester Theda
Hester Bridget Imelda
Bridget Clare
Bridget Honora
Bridget Carlotta
Bridget Carmela
Bridget Linnea (3 syllables)
Bridget Nell
Bridget Lucy
Bridget Lena
Bridget Talulla (the first flapperish one I could muster)
Bridget Fiona
Bridget RubyBridget is much harder to take out and show her a good flapper time. She's so resistant. Anyway, is there anything here you could use?

Ha! Bear, I had a feeling I could count on you! ;-)
You are definitely not the only Hester lover - I'm totally smitten with her, I really am. I like Hazel, too, but Hester - my heart belongs to Hester. For her sassy attitude and her energy ;-)And what a great list!I love Hester Sibly, Hester Bryony, Hester Isobel (this is so dramatic), Hester Glynis (awesome!), Hester Freya, Hester Theda.I agree with you, Bridget is pretty resistant, isn't she. Very hard to flapper-ize.
Nonetheless, Bridget Nell is just great! And so are Bridget Talulla (the first time I can see this name's charms, by the way), Bridget Clare and Bridget Lucy.
By the way, what do you think of Gertrude?

GertrudeFunny. I was just thinking about Gertrude last night. On the drive home, my dh mentioned his Aunt Gertrude. I said how cute the name was and how I couldn't decide if Gertie, Trudy, Tru / True or Ru / Rue made a better nn. I met a 10 year old Gertie (Gertrude) once. Too cute.When said in the original German, Gertrude is so beautiful. With an English / American accent it's still nice, but more quirky than beautiful.I'm so glad you liked a combo or two. And I'm tickled that you did this thread. :-)

"She's like a zippier Hazel."I agree completely! Hazel is nice but heavy... maybe as it gets more popular, people will turn to Hester?

GlynisI should have thought of Glynis. She does indeed add glamor to Hester. Come to think of it, I should have put her over there with Beauregard in the "I'm the only one" thread. :)

WowI have absolutely no memory of that at all. No wonder I couldn't remember ever thinking anything about it. It's not that I never have, I literally just don't remember!
