2 weeks to go: Edith, Elsa......

[SilverBirdie]

DH isn't budging from Edith which I do love but still have a fear that she may one day hate us for it
Elsa has always been on the list but now I'm throwing Ivy and Cara in there too........ Help....... Throw me some similar names or tell me I'm being daft being afraid to use Edith when we love it

I really love both. But then I am a big fan of so called Granny-chic! In case it helps - to me, Elsa is the more pretty, girly name and Edith the more feisty, tomboy one. I don't know if that sways you either way!

Also, for what it's worth my DD has the kind of old fashioned name which I know lots of people might not like but I don't mind whether they do or don't because I love it and it suits my DD down to the ground. She's only 19mo but she's currently announcing her name with pride and I'm hoping she'll always love it because it's hers.

Go with the name you most love and try not to worry if it's not everyone's cup of tea.

Elspeth...................

P.S A couple of other suggestions: Thea, Thora, Nora, Hazel, Connie, Esme, Martha, Joan, Ursula, Sylvie.

Ha, well I was only joking with Enid & Edna squoosh! (hence the '!!')

Though saying that I would put them in the same camp as Edith... along with names such as Mildred, Myrtle, Maud, etc.
Though I do know of a baby Maud!!

I also know a Hilda!!!!!!

I quite like Edith. Use it, don't be afraid.

Has anyone suggested Esther?

Love Edith

Elsa is much nicer than Edith.

Elsa. Timeless chic elegant.
Edith. Granny chic. Mumsnet popular.

Cara is very nice imo.

I really love the name Edith,I think it is very elegant and classic. I know a 2 year old called Edith and it suits her so well. Elsa and Cara are both very lovely too though!

I prefer Elsa to edith and other similar names I like are Eliza and Elsie x

DD is Edith. It suits her down to a T! My Mum has always called her an 'old soul'. It's a great name, I certainly don't look at her and see blue rinse & stockings!

If you like it go for it.
