Hi there

We are both in love with the name Heidi. Just wondering what people's opinions are on it? Trying to think long term for our daughter!

I think it’s lovely! I would have chosen it if dh had been on board.

I have a mum friend called Heidi and think it works for all ages - go for it!!

Lovely name

BeMorePacific · 14/10/2020 09:05

I absolutely love it. My cousin is called Heidi, she’s now in her 40’s and it has always suited her. We call her Hid mostly x

NeedToKnow101 · 14/10/2020 09:06

Love it

Midnightswim · 14/10/2020 09:07

Ah it's cute and a little different. Think it also works for an adult. Go for it

FizzyGreenWater · 14/10/2020 11:27

Absolutely lovely. Cute but also totally works for an adult. Lovely choice.

MikeUniformMike · 14/10/2020 11:30

Lovely, Hi-de-hi and Hides, but still very pretty.

Quercus3 · 14/10/2020 21:16

It's a great choice

DramaAlpaca · 14/10/2020 21:22

I really dislike this name. To me it's twee and babyish and I don't think it works on an adult. Sorry.

But if you both love it, that's your name sorted, don't listen to me!

andannabegins · 14/10/2020 21:31

I have a Heidi. I love it. She is called heid by her friends sometimes but it is rarely shortened. She likes it x

formerbabe · 14/10/2020 21:32

It's really nice

ellenpartridge · 14/10/2020 21:36

I like it. My daughter is friends with a Heidi who is a very sweet girl and it's really grown on me!

Disa13 · 14/10/2020 21:38

My closest friend is called Heidi and it is also my all time favourite name!

Phoenix76 · 14/10/2020 21:57

Also love it op, my best childhood friend was called Heidi and she was great!

Tillygetsit · 14/10/2020 22:26

I'm sorry but I don't get the love for this name. I think it sounds too young for a adult.

PlantPotting · 14/10/2020 22:39

Lovely name. Good choicr

EggyPegg · 14/10/2020 22:57

I know both adult and child Heidi's. I think it's gorgeous.

Catwoman1985 · 14/10/2020 22:59

I like it

MercyBodle · 15/10/2020 01:36

I dislike it. One of those names that I don't get the appeal of. If it was my name I'd have to change it to be taken seriously. But you're not naming me. If it's a name that you would be happy to have yourself then it's not an issue, and it does seem to be generally liked.
