Vesper

[ewaeva.livejournal.com]

A recent post that mentioned "Vespertine" reminded me of a book series I read as a kid - it was about a fearless girl named Vesper Holly, who was a bit like Nancy Drew, only way more awesome :) (http://www.amazon.com/gp/tagging/glance/vesper%20holly)

I was probably about 12 when I read them, and I remember thinking her name was so strange, and whispering it to myself over and over, trying to decide if it was horrible or beautiful.

It's got something to it... I would not use it, but it does have a certain appeal.

Reactions?

(Vesper means evening in Latin, and is not listed on behinthename.com -shock!-, although there is a listing for Vespera, which is apparently Esperanto.)
