    be honest...

    Hadassah Faith

    What do you think? Hadassah is the hebrew for Esther.

    Are there any virtuous names for boys?

    I'm with the others, not keen on Hadassah but Faith is lovely. Have you considered Hannah? Similarish to Hadassah but a prettier name imho.

    I like unusual names. Hannah is very nice, almost cute, but too normal for me .

    I think it's the 'D' in Hadassah that makes it a bit harsh IMO.. Not a name I would go with..

    I am not sure about Hadassah, I like Esther, that's cute. Definitely not many Esther's around.

    I love Esther, pity my DH doesn't. I think Esther Faith is nice.

    I like the way Hadassah sounds but I do not like it in writing sorry.

    Brinly and Brian are boys names that mean virtuous.

    I don't mind Hadassah - really enjoyed the book with that name in the title.

    Same. I think it sounds kind of masculine. It reminds me of Harissa paste lol.

    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.

    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.
