Shortened to Edie...is it lovely or old lady-ish? I can't decide. Dh loves it but I have an ancient auntie Edie (distant enough not to be a problem either way) and I think it might be putting me off

Hate it.

Edie slightly better but not great.

I know a few, one who is 24, another 14 & a couple pre school age so it's not so unusual that people would look askance.

It's a beautiful name in its own right imo, without shortening it.

Tis common in these parts along with all the other old lady type names.

Love it

I know a 24 year old Edith who is so utterly lovely that it's completely moved the name into the 21st century for me. I don't think of old ladies when I hear the name, just her.

I really like Edith

I think it's nice. Old-fashioned yes but nice.
