Struggling with girls names. We both think we like this one - its not too common but not too wierd. BUT will everyone (over 30) go "Heidi-hi" - ha hah ha or start yode youdel yodell...oh however you spell it - yodelling?

or is it just cute?

Never choose a baby name becasue it's "cute". The person you're naming will only be a bay for a couple of years - they will have 80 years of being a teenager and an adult. Pick a name to suit the adult she will be, not the baby she is.

Teenagers and adult women don't want to be cute - they want to be taken seriously.

personally i like it.
i am still in school and it is a lovely unusual name. i think the 'Heidi - hi' will die out as no one in my generation would say that

my name is Avalon and everyone always comments on how unusual it is. my sister gets very fustrated (she's called Georgina)

if i were you go for unusual!!!

hope this helps!

I love it.

We considered it for DD but it was around the same time as Kerry Katona had her Heidi so it put me off. Tbh, even though KK is constantly in the trashy mags, her dc's names don't actually get mentioned that often so it wouldn't put me off now iyswim.

I think the hi-de-hi response is quite likely, sorry.
