I love the poeticism of Hesper, which comes from the Greek for "evening." I also enjoy its dual classicism and modern flair. What do you think?

Some combos:

Hesper Sylvia
Hesper Lydia
Hesper Julia
Hesper Adeline
Hesper Caroline
Hesper Claudia
Hesper Winifred
Hesper Philomena
Hesper Natalia
Hesper Ingrid
Hesper Sigrid
Hesper Violet / Violetta
Hesper Sachiko
Hesper Ludivine
Hesper Philomel
Hesper Ione
Hesper Linnea
Hesper Corinne / Corinna

I've always liked Hesper. I also like Hesperia and Hesperis, I think they're striking. When I think of Hesper, I've always thought of a young woman in the Victorian era. I think it could also work for a "Dark Academia" kind of name.

Out of your list, I like Hesper Adeline, Hesper Ione, Hesper Philomel and Hesper Violet.

Hesper Chrysanthe
Hesper Eirene
Hesper Kallisto
Hesper Myrrhine
Hesper Olympias

Hesper seems rather abrupt. I prefer Hespera.

It's odd. Vampish Bond girl meets strict Puritan. I like Hesper Julia, Philomena, and Philomel (how about Hesper Philomela!!).

Hesper Cytherea
Hesper Everild (too rhymey?)
Hesper Nephele

I like it more than Vesper! Hesper feels very mediaeval to me, like an even more adorably convoluted version of Hester. It's softer than Hester.

I think I want to pair it with other names that make me think of fairy tales and romanticized peasants.

Hesper Gretel
Hesper Maude
Hesper Hannelore
Hesper Norah
Hesper Marjolaine
Hesper Gilda
Hesper Rose (simple, I know)
Hesper Molly

From your list, I love Hesper Winifred! Hester Sachiko is really cute too.

Hesper Gretel and Hesper Hannelore are inspired!
