Help me decide between two names

Opinions positive and negative will really help as feeling quite stuck......

Eva Rose or Edith Rose

Essentially Eva or Edith since the middle name won't get much of an outing!

I have a preference and DH has his but we do like them both.

Thanks!

Eva. Edith a little old-fashioned, I think.

Both are very pretty but Edith Rose is my favourite

Edith would be my choice, although she's in Despicable Me, isn't she? Lots of girls called Eva, Evie, Eve, Evelyn around at the moment.

Eva. I don't like Edith much, I'm not keen on 'granny chic' names really. I like Edie though.

I would choose Edith just because Eva is very popular. Rose is also probably the most popular middle name so that would sway me towards Edith too.

As above I love Edie too, would use it as a nickname for Edith.

Edith by far. Eva is so over done.

My option for a DD (I had a DS!) was Edie Rose, so classy I loved it!

Edith for definite, Eva is over popular at the moment.

I like Edith, but I don't like Edie - which I think is what the majority of parents seem to be thinking of when they pick the name. My house is two buildings from the local primary school and I hear "Eeeeedeeeeee" most days round school run time, so it must be pretty popular.

So if you want her to be known as Edith, yes. Otherwise I prefer Eva.

I like Eva and I like Edie.

But I do not like Edith. Granny un-chic in my book.

Prefer Edith but don't like nn Edie. I used to like all the Eve variations but as pp have said, it's now way to popular.

Edith with Edie as a shortening. I'm not keen on Eva.
