I heard it on James Bond: Casino Royale. I thought it was pretty. What do you think of it?

Makes me think of Mass.Well, that, and we had Vesper services at college, which were basically liturgical theatrical productions. :o)

Sounds too like Vespa bikes and where I live a girl would never live it down, as the town bike is a nn for a girl who sleeps around.

NoIt sounds masculine to me, and reminds me of the prayers and, for some reason, spiders.

I really dislike it. It really does sound too much like Princess Vespa from Spaceballs.

Sorry - Vesper always makes me think of Princess Vesper in Mel Brooks' Space Balls!! Very Funny film but I couldn't imagine using the name!

She was actually Princess Vespa.According to wiki, she was named after the Vespa Scooter. :)

My association is with the indomitable character Vesper Holly, in the series of the same name by Lloyd Alexander. I'm not sure that "pretty" is the word I would use to describe it -- spunky, perhaps, probably because of the character. I'd like it on someone else's kid but wouldn't use it myself, since it's also too associated with the Catholic prayer service. I like the meaning, though "evening", and it's from the Greek Hesperus (the Greek name for the evening star, which we now know as the planet Venus).

I dislike it, although I do *love* the similar Hesper.

A vesper is an evening prayer service to me, so it seems kinda weird as a name.

I like it too, even though the James Bond reference bugs me a bit.
EDIT: the "vespa" association is also a bit of a problem, especially as, apart from being a scooter brand, it means "wasp" in Italian. What about Vespera?

Yeah. He wasn't a very good James Bond, and the movie wasn't that great, I just liked her name.
