I think that after the "what was she thinking" effect wears off, yes, the name Esther will become quite fashionable....

Liz--

To honor her kabbalah faith she changed her name to the jewish name of Esther...

Madonna vs. Esther--polar opposites, but I'm betting Esther may jump a few notches in popularity.

Ah... Well, you know I like Esther better than Madonna. Quite a lot better.

It might make the name even less popular. Madonna is nothing more than a talentless has been.

Hmmm. I would think she would keep the name her mother gave her, as her mother has passed and I thought she was very close to her mother as a child.

Go figure.

As to Esther...I don't know that even a serious celebrity such as Madonna could help that name. I think it's way past its prime.

JMO!

My sister is Jewish and I know she has a different Hebrew name -- maybe this is similar to that(?). And I suppose if Madonna is really embracing this form of the Jewish religion, names don't get much more Christian than Madonna -- so maybe that's where she's coming from.

But who knows........

Well, I have to chime in and say that I actually like this name, and would consider it for a daughter myself! And as for Madonna, the fact that she is using it may make me NOT use it, even though I like it :-)

Esther is a fantastic name in honor of a very strong biblical character!
