Esther is one of my favorite names!!! I've loved it a long time. I plan on naming my first daughter
Esther. I also know of a little girl named
Esther.
Essie and
Essa are good nicknames, if nicknames are your thing. It doesn't feel remotely old or grandmotherly to me. Old-fashioned, yes, but in the same beautiful way as
Ruby or
Violet or
Charlotte and other older names that are coming back.
I think
Esther Lily is really lovely! Since
Esther probably means 'star', together it could mean 'lily star' or 'star lily', which is a great image and meaning. :)
