Obviously not Edithmead that's a bit out there even for baby names!

ThreeRuddyTubs · 19/12/2015 10:29

Sets and Edithmead. Although you could combine (sort of) the girls names and go for Meredith

Madeleine and Theo

Thabks all,

Gives us something more to think about when we finally make the decision once baby is here. It wasn't until I read back the thread I realised we must love the TH sound!

Madeleine by quite a long way, beautiful name. Although Edith is growing on me, it still has resonances of 'old lady', but the nickname Edie is nice.

Seth or Theo - not much to choose, maybe Theo.

Edith. One of the oldest names we have. Lovely. Also like Edie a lot as a nickname - much better than maddie

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 18/12/2015 20:44

Madeleine

CherryPits · 18/12/2015 20:43

Edith.
Nuff has been said about associations with Madeline. Also there are about a zillion of them toddling around the uK at the moment.

OublietteBravo · 18/12/2015 20:43

I love them both

If I had to choose, I think I'd go for Edith.
