Help me decide between two names

[MagnumAddict]

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!

I have a 99 year old great grandmother called Evelyn, a 70 year old grandma called Evelyn and a newborn called Evelyn so I will disagree with it being 'the 2010-2020 Tracey' myself.

Both pretty but love the nn Edie more than I like the name Edith

Edith/Edie - I love it! Our second baby is a boy, but I was stuck between Edie and Luna for a girl :)

Edith, traditional & beautiful name.

Edith. Or how about Edina or Edwina if you want to keep the Anglo-Saxon vibe without being too out there?

I would go with Edith, purely because there are quite a lot of Evas 🙈

Sincerely, thank-you to everyone for your opinions. It has been really useful and I feel like we are close to making a decision!

To those who have offered alternatives, thanks but it will definitely be Edith or Eva although interestingly (to me at least!) wobbling over middle names now. Trying out Pearl and Skye and a few others in my mind although the main thing I wanted to decide on was the first name.

Almost there! I will definitely come back to the thread when we have 100% decided.

Just wanted to say that both names are beautiful. My personal preference is Eva but that is coloured by an (ex) friend called Edith.

I prefer Eva :) DD3 was most put out when we didn't name DD5 this. She's hoping for a DD6 now. She will have to remain content to name every dolly she has Eva, I'm afraid!

Edith by far. Love the nn Edie. Eva is pretty but a little over done imo.

Eva Rose.

Edith.

Eva is a lovely name but there seem to be so many around at the moment so might be nice to have a name which is heard less frequently.

Eva/Evie/Eve is going to be TOTALLY a name of this generation, nice though it is - in thirty years, it will be like being called Claire or Kelly in the 80s.

Edith.

Eva is lovely, it's only the current popularity that could be a negative. But it's so nice, and is it even as common as Evie or Ava?

Edith ... well, objectively it has a nice sound so I should like it. But somehow in my head it still has a very strong 'bossy old lady' vibe.

Edith Rose

Eadie is better imo

I LOVE Edie and Eva and Rose is a lovely combination with both

I love Edith Rose, this was a strong contender for DD1. Nn Edie- just lovely. Eva is nice although I prefer Evie. Evelyn Rose?

Edith Rose would be my preference...a lovely name!

As others have said, Edie(Edith) is much less popular BUT I think Eva is a much nicer-sounding name

Edith is lovely!

My DD is Eva. It's interesting that so many are dismissing it as popular as I don't know any others and whenever I look for gifts (pens etc) with kids names on them for DD I've never found anything with Eva on it!

Edith is my middle name and was first choice if DS had been DD. Edith Marie was our variation. Love it!

Edith.

My DD has an Edith in her class, it's shortened to Edie xxx

Adore Edith! Eva is nice too, but Edith is beautiful.
