Kirsty or Heidi?

[Jojay]

Middle name will probably be Alice or Elizabeth.

What do you think?

I really dislike Heidi. In German yes (pronounced High-dee), but in English I'm not keen.

Kirsty is cute and Kirsten works well in most languages.

Kirsty. Heidi sounds dumpy and plain to me. Kirsty has a nice Scottish or Scandinavian ring to it.

I don't particularly like Heidi (looks a bit masculine..) but I dislike all names ending in Y. It is my belief that no woman with a Y as the last letter of their name can be taken seriously...

I like both but would go with Kirstie as i am one, I really love the spelling too, im all but 28 and have only met or known of about 3/4 others with the same spelling.

Let us know!

Kirsty absolutely. Heidi just makes me think dirndls and plaits.

I love Kirsty.

Ooooh, PrincessScrumpy, I'm having twins too! But they're boy/girl, so we're only after one girls name. Boys names are another thread altogether! When are you due? I'm 27+6.

Anyway, I digress.....

I'm not keen on Kirsten, so it would be Kirsty, or Kirstie - can't decide on the spelling

But I still like Heidi, and it's DH's preferred option. Ho hum.......

Definitely Kirsty!!

I don't get called Kirst very often; few people abbreviate it. I am also one of the few people I know who actually likes their own name.

Although I do like Heidi too .

I have a Heidi and she is lovey, I love the name!!!

I love Heidi.

I love the name Heidi, not keen on Kirsty/Kirsten.

I'm 21w pg - should be born by cs 1st week of Sept (If they stay put that long). Where are you? I'm in Somerset.

I'm in Warwickshire, so nowhere near sadly. Best of luck with it all!

Neither. Remeber you're naming an adult woman, not a baby.

Neither, but I do like Kirsten/Kristen/Kristina. Really dislike Heidi - it has very old fashioned, almost comical associations in Germany.

Seems Heidi is like Marmite then! Maybe Kirtsi without the 'y' ?

How else would you pronounce Heidi except the German way?

I love Kirsty. Heidi is ok too. Don't know any Heidis but only ever met nice Kirstys. Kirsty Elizabeth sounds slightly better than Kirsty Alice but sound good. Heidi Elizabeth works better than Heidi Alice imo.

Another vote for Heidi!

Kirsty

Alice and Elizabeth are beautiful.

I'm afraid I dislike both heidi and kirsty. But at a push I would prefer heidi.

Out of interest what boys names do you like? Might help as to which would go with the boys name!

I have a Jasper and an Ed(ward) already.

Trying to talk DH into Dominic for DS3

With those names I still go with the two you have for middle names

But definitely heidi rather than kirsty.

I might have a bias towards one of these names .

(Not my name in real life BTW).

I am a Kirstie (was Kirsty but changed the spelling as a teen). I don't really like it and think it sounds harsh, so am suprised so many view it as a 'pretty' name.

I prefer Heidi by far.
