Edith

[Crunchymum]

What do you think?

It is a name that has become back into fashion fairly recently, so they wouldn't be at secondary school yet.
Cf. 30 years ago Emily and Chloe were still fairly unusual but there are loads of them around now.

I like it, I prefer the nickname but still nice name!

I love Edith and Edie is cute. I only know one. She's a newborn

You say that mikeuniformmike, but I have been reading "oh it's so popular" on MN for years, those popular ones would be 11-12-13 by now.

The Edith I know well is 16

Really? The Edith I know is 6 and the year she was named it was pretty low down the list of names.

Yeah maybe that's my point, it actually wasn't that popular 15 yrs ago!

The 16yo's parents were clearly ahead of their time ;)

I love it too and I'm not even sure why!

I like Edith (or Edie) it was a name I associated with old people when I was a child but those types of names are popular again now.

I really dislike it. I think it's frumpy, ugly and awful to saddle a girl with.

Will never understand why it's so well loved.

Edith and Ethel are both awful, frumpy names for modern babies.

In my opinion obviously.

I like it. Old fashioned and pretty but not too common

It's nearly top 100. I know an 8 year old and about 3 1 year olds.
But love it

I love it, but I am biased (I have one) it’s surprisingly common, I know at least 5 others under 5. It’s not really an old lady name more a baby name!

I have a 10 year old Edie. I never thought about Edith at the time, as a birth certificate name.

I still love the name Edie. I just think it manages to be cool, pretty and a little harder edged and a bit less popular than other -ie names. Many of which I like too. I feel like I should love Edith too, but just can't quite. Perhaps because I'm more the Sedgwick sort, than Downton.

I almost went with Sylvie. I adore that. But can't stand Sylvia. It's quite fascinating how we respond so differently to names that are almost identical.

👍very nice
