I don't particularly like it, it sounds more like a pet name to me.

florascotia · 30/11/2013 20:02

It's short for Adelheide/Adelaide both = noble birth), if that affects your thinking.

HoneyandRum · 23/11/2013 20:58

Unfortunately I don't think of Peter and the goats but the Hollywood Madam.

Here in Germany you hear Heide (pronounced High-da) which I prefer.

Kerry Katona's DCs all have lovely, mainstream names. She did that right.

Tillyscoutsmum · 23/11/2013 09:58

I like it. Considered it for dd but she was born just after Katona's Heidi so it put me off Confused I would use it now though.

AngusMcFife · 23/11/2013 09:46

Sounds and looks lovely :D. I know one girl called Heidi, in her mid-twenties, and she's lovely too!

LCHammer · 23/11/2013 07:04

Lovely name.

justhayley · 23/11/2013 00:10

I love it it's beautiful. Our surname is H and a close friend has one so can't use it but would otherwise.
How about

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

Also, Heidi Fleiss.

IPreferCats · 22/11/2013 06:45

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.

hulabaloo · 22/11/2013 06:37

I don't like it at all, sorry.

zatyaballerina · 22/11/2013 00:13

I like it a lot, very pretty.

Allalonenow · 21/11/2013 22:28

I love it, it's pretty, not over used, and the Heidi I know is clever, famous and lovely!

parabelle · 21/11/2013 22:20

It's a brilliant name, strong yet pretty. Go for 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

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!

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.

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.

Rockdoctor · 21/11/2013 20:25

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

VeniceQueen · 21/11/2013 20:23

My DD2 is Heidi so it's a yes from me Smile

HyvaPaiva · 21/11/2013 20:22

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

VirtuallyReal · 21/11/2013 20:21
