yeah! i did, i forgot i could do that lol.
I prefer [name_f]Hesper[/name_f] or [name_u]Vesper[/name_u] over [name_f]Hesperia[/name_f] and since youād only consider it as a middle and love [name_f]Hestia[/name_f] enough to use as a first, I would pick [name_f]Hestia[/name_f].
I have a soft spot for [name_f]Hestia[/name_f] as well, sheās always been one of my favorite goddesses as well. As far as mythological names go, I feel like [name_f]Hestia[/name_f] isnāt too heavy or overboard. I agree with you that it feels accessible in sound/spelling, and it generally has a really nice sound in my opinion. It seems like [name_f]Hestia[/name_f] is a tried-and-true for you, as another poster said, you love it enough to want to use it as a first, which speaks to how special it is to you. [name_f]Hesperia[/name_f] is nice too, but I think itās a bit fussier than [name_f]Hestia[/name_f]. You mentioned that it feels softer to you than [name_f]Hestia[/name_f], which I find interesting since Iād say the latter has a softer sound to it!
So if I had to recommend one for you to keep on your list, Iād definitely say keep [name_f]Hestia[/name_f]! However in general, Iād say thereās nothing terrible about having both on your long list, especially if one is preferred as a first and the other is a middle. You may never have to use both, but depending on the situation you might appreciate having both there to choose from later on (However, this is from a person who currently has 4 names starting with Ju- in her UC, so maybe Iām just biased!)
Although I shy away from goddess names, I do love [name_f]Hestia[/name_f]!
I really love [name_f]Hestia[/name_f] and nn [name_f]Hessie[/name_f] is so cute! Itās bright and warm
[name_f]Hestia[/name_f] is lovely, and nn Hess or [name_f]Hessie[/name_f] would be adorableš
