Awful imo

RavenWings · 14/12/2018 18:26

Ugh, horrible name.

CocoLoco87 · 14/12/2018 18:26

Prefer Edith with nn Edie, or Elsie or Esme

BackIntoTheSun · 14/12/2018 18:09

I like it but it does make me think of the old lady in eastenders

Lynne45 · 14/12/2018 18:06

Ethel is nice.

Shadow1234 · 14/12/2018 18:00

Prefer Elsie to Ethel.

ReginaPhalange89 · 14/12/2018 17:47

Not for me , I really am not a fan of all these old lady style names that seem to be having a bit of a come back recently. Ethel seems very much one of those names

Love it.

Ethel is the elephant in Hey Duggee or the owner of Willy in EastendeEs 😂

sorry but no.

ZebraKid71 · 14/12/2018 17:11

It's my dhs favourite name! I like it but vetoed as it reminds me of the mean girl from The Worst Witch haha.

MarshaBradyo · 14/12/2018 17:11

I don’t love the grandma-ish names

Difficult to say if you have a lisp.
