I love it!

Beautiful name. Deserves a resurgence as do many old names. As a midwife never come across it.

I like Ines, and it sounds similar.

OnceMoreIntoTheBleach · 03/03/2016 20:45

Or Astrid? Much nicer, IMO but each to their own Smile

It is actually quite a nice sounding name though very much in the league of old lady chic not as yet popular (like Ethel and Maude). I probably would not be brave enough to use it, but it will probably be ultra cool in about ten years and yoiu will be a trend setter.

OMG that is an awesome name I love it!!!! Please name your daughter that!!! I also love Edith and Beryl. I had a boy though so did not get to use any of them :-(

Blyton here too. Ingrid as an alternative? Not keen on either to be honest, they are both quite 'hard' sounding to me.

I love it!

Even she changed it when she went to university Calla I don't blame her

MashesToPashes · 03/03/2016 20:43

Love it. Do you know it's a character name on the Walking Dead? You might get the odd person assuming you're a fan.

It's a good strong name with a lovely meaning "life" or "soul".

Oh please don't, it's awful Sad

Muskey · 03/03/2016 20:43

Sorry I don't like it. It's a tad old fashioned. But as i always say if you like it go ahead
