Edith....

Thoughts on a little Edith please?!

I struggle to picture a little Edith, tbh. It's still too much of a 'granny chic' name for me even though it's been coming back into fashion for a while. I adore Edie, though.

It evokes Allo Allo.

I love this name. I used to think of it as an old lady's name but, even though I've yet to meet an Edith IRL, it's really grown on me and would be on my shortlist if I were having any more kids.

I know a lovely little Edith, she's about 6 but even as a toddler it suited her.

Like. It fits with the current old lady trend and is one of those worthy of revival imo.

It wouldn't be my choice but it would be fine. Edith I think of is Edith Piaf.

Love it!

I have a little Edith in my class. It’s very cool.

Our neighbour is a little Edith. She’s about five. It really suits her. She’s quite an earnest little thing, clever and inquisitive. Her parents are both teachers. I wouldn’t choose it myself, as I find it maybe a little prim. But I certainly don’t think it’s horrible. Quite a pleasant sound.

I really like it but DH says no.

Adore it!!! One of my favourites.

I know a little Edith. So cute!

Thanks!

I think its sweet too, and I love historical names, I associate it with the Nurse Edith Cavell. I dont really think of old ladies as I've personally never met an old lady Edith (or a young lady Edith for that matter) and I meet a lot of old ladies on the wards where I work!

I love Edith. DH doesn't and we compromised on Meredith.

Brilliant, firm fan of old style names here. Our short list for a girl included Maud, Cordelia, Nancy and Martha!

I really like it

I really like it too. The first one that popped into my head was from The Walking Dead. She was a great character!

Lovely. Could be Edie as a nn.

I love it! Was on my list but DH said no!

My little three year old niece is called Edith! She's gorgeous too. She was always going to be Edith and I have to admit, at first I wasn't sure (although obviously never said anything!) Now I couldn't imagine her as anything else. It's adorable and there are no other Edith's at her nursery.

Thanks all.
Love Edie as a nn too :)

Gorge, my daughters middle name is Edie after my nan who was Edith but always called Edie. Sometimes wish I’d used the ‘Sunday best’ version but I didn’t because she was never known as that.

Beautiful and classy.

I like it, little Edie.

I didn't used to like it but it grew on me and now I love it.

Embarrassingly that might be due to Downton Abbey!
