    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 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.

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

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

    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.
