Lovely and, as yet, underused.

I love it. Our surname starts with a h and sort of rhymes with Heidi so it's a no for us but I love it!

It doesn't do it for me, but it's a perfectly good choice.

Very nice and I am extremely opinionated on names.

It's not my favourite, I'm not keen on the Swiss boarding school image thing. Sorry Blush

No a bit too Germanic and strident for my taste. How about Heather as the English equivalent?

I'm sorry but if Kerry Katona uses a name, it's automatically not for me. Sorry.

I like it. Also know a couple of Haidis - more unusual maybe and without the yodelling connotations

Thread title made me think you were asking for opinions on the book which I must say was one of my favourites as a child. My DD also loved it when she was younger.

As a name, it is lovely but I always thnk It suits blondes best.

VeniceQueen good choice its lovely name. I like Haidi to. Ahh so there is a book I will defiantly have to read that, I agree it would suit blond best we have a back up name if she is dark haired ,DD is very blond but DH is very dark I am somewhere in between so could go either way. DD would have suited Heidi perfectly.

My 2 yr old Heidi is gorgeous! Everyone says what a lovely name. She is mousey brown - getting blonder but I still think it would be a lovely name if darker.

Do it!

TallRedhead It is by far my favorite name I think we will use it no matter what she looks like, Dd had red hair till she was 7 ish months old then went blond so no guarantees anyway. Now to find a middle name Grin

I love it! DD has it as second name because hubby wasn't as keen but I was determined to have it somehow! I only know 1 Heidi and she is in her 30s and lovely.

It's a bit 1970s, in a big boobed Swiss au pair with blonde plaits, kind of way.

Also, Heidi Fleiss.
