Help me decide between two names

Opinions positive and negative will really help as feeling quite stuck......

Eva Rose or Edith Rose

Essentially Eva or Edith since the middle name won't get much of an outing!

I have a preference and DH has his but we do like them both.

Thanks!

Eva. Edith a little old-fashioned, I think.

TheWoollybacksWife · 12/07/2017 17:50

Both are very pretty but Edith Rose is my favourite

ilivebythesea · 12/07/2017 18:57

Edith would be my choice, although she's in Despicable Me, isn't she? Lots of girls called Eva, Evie, Eve, Evelyn around at the moment.

BertrandRussell · 12/07/2017 18:58

Edith. Lovely!

Blossomdeary · 12/07/2017 18:59

Edith would be my choice. Lots of Evas around at the moment.

MadameJosephine · 12/07/2017 19:08

Edith, pretty name and not as common as Eva

bridgetreilly · 12/07/2017 19:12

Edith Rose. Lovely name.

DramaAlpaca · 12/07/2017 19:12

Eva. I don't like Edith much, I'm not keen on 'granny chic' names really. I like Edie though.

ASDismynormality · 12/07/2017 19:13

I would choose Edith just because Eva is very popular. Rose is also probably the most popular middle name so that would sway me towards Edith too.

ASDismynormality · 12/07/2017 19:14

As above I love Edie too, would use it as a nickname for Edith.

Laniakea · 12/07/2017 19:18

Edith by far. Eva is so over done.

2ducks2ducklings · 12/07/2017 19:19

Definitely Edith. It's a lovely name.

Onedaysoooon · 12/07/2017 19:19

Eva

Dweet1259 · 12/07/2017 19:21

My option for a DD (I had a DS!) was Edie Rose, so classy I loved it!

missyB1 · 12/07/2017 19:23

Edith for definite, Eva is over popular at the moment.

BraveBear · 12/07/2017 19:24

I like Edith, but I don't like Edie - which I think is what the majority of parents seem to be thinking of when they pick the name. My house is two buildings from the local primary school and I hear "Eeeeedeeeeee" most days round school run time, so it must be pretty popular.

So if you want her to be known as Edith, yes. Otherwise I prefer Eva.

MajesticWhine · 12/07/2017 19:25

Edith definitely.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 12/07/2017 19:46

100% Eva Rose.

Susiethetortoiseshellcat · 12/07/2017 20:24

Edith. Mainly because I like the nn Edie but not Evie.

glasshalfsomething · 12/07/2017 20:25

Love Edith!

Synecdoche · 12/07/2017 20:25

I'm the same as Susie ^^

I love Edith/Edie

Glumglowworm · 12/07/2017 20:26

Eva Rose

Scrumpington · 12/07/2017 20:27

I like Eva and I like Edie.

But I do not like Edith. Granny un-chic in my book.

ImSoUnoriginal · 12/07/2017 20:28

Prefer Edith but don't like nn Edie. I used to like all the Eve variations but as pp have said, it's now way to popular.

Rainybo · 12/07/2017 20:29

Edith with Edie as a shortening. I'm not keen on Eva.
