be honest...

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

[Heaven]

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.

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.

[Maruschke]

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.

[Phteven]

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.

[Maruschke]

Thanks. I see it isn't popular but I still love it.

[loulabelle]

Not instantly, but thinking about it, it grows on me.

I really like it.

[nickers]

first time i have heard of this name but i think it sounds too masculine sorry.

[NaeNae]

When I first saw Hadassah I thought it was a boys name, seems to hard for a girls name and (sorry) I don't like it at all BUT thats because its my opinion ITMS??

I like Adora better.

I am not sure if there is a Hebrew spelling but my name Naomi is Hebrew (probably too common though )

I understand the need for "uncommon" name ... we're in the same boat. We have chosen a name but other "not so common" names that were on my list were Amara, Ellira (Allirah), Jolie ...... I do love Verity too.

Personally I love it! I thinks it's really lyrical

At first I thought it sounded harsh (as in the strong 'd'), but it is definately a name that once you say it a few times it grows on you. I quite like it now

Don't mind Adora either.

If it is relevant to your faith, then go for it. If you're just choosing it for the sake of it, then nope.

You have to also think if she is going to a secular school, will she be teased because of her name?

I Love MOSHE!!!!

Esther (Hadassah) was an awesome woman in the OT who saved the Jews. She had great courage. So yes it is important to me.

In what way can Hadassah the name be picked on? Lay it out for me I am sometimes dense lol.

[Sopdet]

It is a beautiful name, with a beautiful meaning behind it and is relevant to your faith.

Moreso because it is not perceived as a "normal" name, also think of ways it could be pronounced and if any not-nice words can be made out of it. Can't think of any right now.

[Traveller]

I would be surprised if she was picked on for the name Hadassah. I wasn't keen when you first posted it but I have very much come round to it now. Kids are used to so many unusual names nowadays they will probably not even realise Hadassah isn't a common name. The bottom line is, if you love it, then go for it

[Phteven]

Maybe it could sound like Hard Ass? But the thing about bullying is that if bullying is tolerated they will find something to pick on. If it's not the name it is the voice, clothes, accent, walk, glasses.... If bullying isn't tolerated then no matter what you name is it won't be picked on because the potential bullies know they won't get away with it.
