We're stuck between these for our list, so need opinions.

Edith wouldn't be shortened. Which of these is most popular?

I love Verity.

belgo · 17/01/2011 12:44

All lovely. I would go for Esther.

theagedparent · 17/01/2011 12:44

I love Edith, not so keen on the others. Not sure that any of them are really popular round here

truffleshuffle · 17/01/2011 12:48

Esther is lovely

thisisyesterday · 17/01/2011 12:48

Esther is lovely

PorkChopSter · 17/01/2011 13:13

I wanted an Edith Rose but known as Edie Envy I like Esther.

LetThereBeRock · 17/01/2011 13:16

Esther is by far the nicest.

kreecherlivesupstairs · 17/01/2011 13:19

Verity, Esther and then a long way down the list, beyond Doris and Gertrude, Edith.

megsacat · 17/01/2011 15:41

Verity love it cant choose it myself as surname begins with D.

HelloMyNameIsHilda · 17/01/2011 15:45

love Esther - its my DD2's name and I think it's beautiful.

her bf at school is called Pearl - always makes me laugh, "Esther and Pearl", surely we must be back in the 1930s or 40s

GwendolineMaryLacey · 17/01/2011 15:46

Verity is absolutely gorgeous and I would use it like a shot but DH hates it Angry. Then Esther but get rid of Edith, it's foul!

lovelyopaque · 17/01/2011 15:49

Esther is very nice.

thebountymuncher · 17/01/2011 15:53

Verity. Lovely name.
I have a friend called Verity, and she is lovely too (pointless comment of the dayGrin)

Lamorna · 17/01/2011 15:55

Verity.(def not Edith)

eatyourveg · 17/01/2011 16:09

Esther gets my vote

tummytickler · 17/01/2011 16:12

Esther is the loveliest by far. I would say that Edith is the most popular - I know a few little ones.

Sarsaparilllla · 17/01/2011 16:19

I love the name Verity, very pretty

flopsy1974 · 17/01/2011 16:22

Esther gets my vote. Lovely name.

PuppyMonkey · 17/01/2011 16:26

They're all nice names, but I like Esther best and it's certainly not very common where I live.

headinspin · 17/01/2011 16:36

i really like Edith; I know a few Esther's (middle aged) - and I can't stand Verity - always seems prim and proper to me and holier than thou being named after a virtue

PlanetLizard · 17/01/2011 16:51

They're all nice names. I'd pick Edith or Esther.

Minione · 17/01/2011 17:16

Esther, definitely

usualsuspect · 17/01/2011 17:19

Esther...Edith is awful

SlightlyJaded · 17/01/2011 17:20

Verity - lovely

Although I love Edith too - even shortened to Edie

AbsofCroissant · 17/01/2011 17:22

Esther

Edith sounds a bit too old lady for me, and I have issues with a woman called Verity.
