Dh loves Heidi I'm not 100% on it but have no other names in mind. It was supposed to be dd2s name but we changed mind at last minute .

What is your honest opinion on Heidi ? Be brutally honest please baby is due in 2 and a half weeks so need a name asap.

Brutally honest you say?

OK, I hate it. It sounds like a milkmaid to me.

But if you like it, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

Lovely pretty and elegant, and surprisingly under used. I'd say definitely go for it.

Sophronia · 04/04/2016 21:46

I like it

mrsschu · 04/04/2016 21:25

I like it. Not too popular but not too unusual either.

I love it but my DH is Swiss would be a bit stereotypical!

BendydickCuminsnatch · 04/04/2016 21:22

Love it!!!

I really like Heidi, very pretty name

Horseshoe1 · 04/04/2016 21:11

I love it. I know a very chic grown up German Heidi and it works well for an adult too.

I really don't like it. I'm sorry. I don't actually know why per se, but Kerry Katona naming one of her herd Heidi, certainly doesn't help.

I like it, would have used it but it got the veto!

It's nice...makes a refreshing change.

Other 2dds are Lila and Emme I do like it but majority of people I have told have hated it Confused in my drs words you can't call her that it's horrible Blush it's not that bad is it ?

I think it's lovely. Very pretty but strong. What are you not sure about? Does it go with DD1s name?
