Do you think it sounds good?

Does it sound good with Esther?

Does it matter that Hadassah is Esther in Hebrew?

I ADORE both names! I would have considered using the name Hadassah, if I didn’t have a niece named Esther. Using both names in a combo is like calling her Esther Esther! It would be like using Jack John or Maisie Margaret or something.

They don't sound all that good together. I didn't know they were the same name in different languages, it's not obvious at all from the sound (unlike Mary and Marie, for instance) so that by itself wouldn't bother me.
I like Esther but not Hadassah.

Even though I recognise the names as being the same biblical character, I do think they sound good together (though I’d switch them around, since I like Esther slightly better than Hadassah).

I don’t think it matters too much since the names don’t sound similar.

I think it's ok. Hadassah is pretty and Esther is interesting. I don't think it matters that one would mean the other.

It sounds ok, I immediately knew the connection with the names, but I don't think it matters

Not really. It’s like giving the same name twice, since they’re two names for the same character.
