Mary, Edith or Lucy

[PetersonPeterson]

Middle name Josephine. Thanks!

Lucy.

Anything but Edith.

I like Edith (love the NN Edie!)
Lucy is okay - it's a very safe name (nothing wrong with that!)
Dislike Mary...

I'm biased but I love Edith nn Edie but be prepared for everyone to mishear it as Evie.

Love Lucy too but associate with an old family pet so I could never use it personally.

Don't like Mary at all I'm afraid, prefer Marie, Marianne etc type variations.

Thank you! Love Meredith, whoever suggested that.

Mary is just lovely and has lots of nice nicknames-Molly/Polly etc

Will sound so fresh amid the Evies/Islas and Amelies. Sorry, names sounding fresh is my obsession!

Almost called DD this!

Also biased Edith is a great name (although not a great sleeper in my case...)

Josephine is stunning!

Not Edith. Ugliest name ever.

Lucy. Nothing wrong with the others, but I like Lucy best.

Not Edith. Ugliest name ever.

Rude! If you'd read the thread you'd see there are clearly at least two people here with beloved Edies. I get you don't like the name but chill with the ugliest name ever BS.

/protective mother.

*beloved Edith's

Strange reaction mouldy peach.

Any of them but Lucy.
Josephine, Mary, Edith, all beautiful.

Hm, not really, in context.

Lucy!

Mary is a lovely classic name (I'm sure it's due for a revival) and would be unusual at the moment. That would be my favourite.

Lucy is also classic and pretty (though possibly a little frilly), but more common in recent years.

Edith is getting popular at the moment. It's funny, objectively I can see it's an attractive sounding name (and I do like the nickname Edie), but somehow I can't get the vibe of 'bossy posh old lady' out of my head, when I hear Edith! I am sure younger people probably won't have these associations, though.

The only Edith I know hates her name.

All a bit meh to me, I'm afraid.

lentilstew whats wrong with Lucy?

To my ear, it's s bit sickly sweet and twee. But then I also dislike names like Poppy.

But hey, I'm not the name police! I just gave my opinion. Just because I don't like it doesn't mean I expect others to necessarily share that view. Otherwise my daughter would have a name in the top 100.

My sister is a 16 year old Mary, I love her name! I don't like it with Josephine, though. It's a bit...nativity.

Edith is cute, but Lucy is my favourite of these.

Some other suggestions...

Lucy

Lucy, Lucinda, love it

Edith. There is something of the glamorous Edwardian about it.
