    Again, not a name I'd use but kind of pretty.. Does remind me of Dora the explorer though a little bit..

    If the emphasis falls equally on all syllables or on the first syllables I'm not a fan of Hadassah but if the emphasis is on the end then it's not so bad.
    I quite like Esther.

    Actually...... it's one of those names that you go Huh? The first time you hear it but by the time you have repeated it a bit to try and figure out the pronounciation it grows on you. So.....

    My revised opinion is that I would prefer it if it had a French style pronounciation but the other way isn't so bad either.

    Does it have to be Hebrew? Fidèle (fidelity) is a great name for a boy.

    Ethan(steadfast) and Amin(truthful) are both Hebrew names.

    I know an Hadassah and I think it is a gorgeous name, it really suits her.
    I am not keen on Faith.

    Aldona is another one I have heard... not sure of its origin or meaning though.

    Heaven - Yes there was a Hadassah on BATB.

    Onyx - what does the french pron sound like?

    Tashy - i love Honor. But it is "trendy" at the moment because of celebrities.

    In French the emphasis in words falls on the final syllables whereas in English we tend to emphasise the first syllables also the H is almost silent.

    Nope, wasn't there someone one a show called that, maybe beauty and the geek or something. She wasn't very nice anyway so it makes me not like it, lol.

    Not a fan of Hadassah just from the sound. Dont mind Esther. I like Adora for a little girl but she may have trouble as a teenager/adult. It makes me think of a Terry Pratchett character called Adorabelle. She was known for wearing lots of black and stiletto heels, chain smoking and causing damage to anyone who made fun of her name

    Faith is nice. Verity is another virtue name. Hope, Agape, Chastity, Temperance, Honor, Grace, Felicity
