We're stuck between these for our list, so need opinions.

Edith wouldn't be shortened. Which of these is most popular?

Esther gets my vote. Lovely name.

I love the name Verity, very pretty

Esther is the loveliest by far. I would say that Edith is the most popular - I know a few little ones.

Esther gets my vote

Verity.(def not Edith)

Verity. Lovely name.
I have a friend called Verity, and she is lovely too (pointless comment of the dayGrin)

Esther is very nice.

Verity is absolutely gorgeous and I would use it like a shot but DH hates it Angry. Then Esther but get rid of Edith, it's foul!

love Esther - its my DD2's name and I think it's beautiful.

her bf at school is called Pearl - always makes me laugh, "Esther and Pearl", surely we must be back in the 1930s or 40s

Verity love it cant choose it myself as surname begins with D.

kreecherlivesupstairs · 17/01/2011 13:19

Verity, Esther and then a long way down the list, beyond Doris and Gertrude, Edith.

LetThereBeRock · 17/01/2011 13:16

Esther is by far the nicest.

PorkChopSter · 17/01/2011 13:13

I wanted an Edith Rose but known as Edie Envy I like Esther.

I love Edith, not so keen on the others. Not sure that any of them are really popular round here

belgo · 17/01/2011 12:44

All lovely. I would go for Esther.

deemented · 17/01/2011 12:43
