Thoughts on Heidi?

[3AndStopping]

Last minute addition to our very short list, thoughts?

Cute

I like it. It was on my list.

Know a 1 Yr old called it, it really suits her (very pretty baby!). I don't think it sounds unusual in the same way it might have 20 years ago, it fits with the names of children today.

Love it and one I might have chosen for DD if I had thought about it!

Perfect name! Sadly does not go with our surname. :( Also Hazel ?

It's the 3rd addition to our short list last min too. I'm 34 weeks and still can't decide! Our choices are Evelyn (worried is getting very popular) Heidi and Alma

@Mseddy we have an Evelyn too! 🙂 we must have similar taste. Great response to Heidi so far though 👍🏼

One of my favourite names.

Heidi is very cute. What about Sadie?

Sorry, I dislike it intensely. It's ridiculously twee and I think of it as quite a downmarket name.

It's a completely different style to Evelyn, which is classy and elegant. Heidi is neither of those things.

Much much prefer Heidi to Evelyn.

Also how to you feel about names being shortened. Heidi is much less likely to be shortened whilst you can pretty much guarantee by the time she’s 5 you’ll have an Evie/ Eve / Evy.

Wow, I'd say the exact opposite! Funny how we all interpret names differently!

Heidi/Seeky.

I don't really like it, I used to live near one and she wasn't a very nice person. She ended up sleeping with another neighbours husband,which I know he was more to blame but she was horrible to his wife afterwards.
It's put me off the name but I'm sure some are lovely.

A lovely name.

I love it, I know both a nice and a horrid Heidi (not quite
Put me off), both in their 40’s and a 5 year old Heidi. It’s a timeless and classy name, not easily shortened and the ‘Heidi-hi’ associations have long passed.

Love it! Go for it op. Beautiful.

Reminds me of the prog when I was a girl!

It's a bit unusual
Everyone knows how to pronounce and spell it
Very nice sounding
Do it!

I only post on baby names threads when I love the name.
Love Heidi.

I think it may have been on our list. Our DDS have Germanic names as well. A lot of people have said what lovely names over the years :)

I love it and wish I hadn’t wasted on a pet before we had kids.

Lovely name.

Clara is also lovely!

Love Heidi! Also…before anyone else is rude about Evelyn I think OP is saying she already has a daughter called Evelyn. So I don’t think she’s looking for opinions on that name.

Not my taste, it sounds slightly cutesy to me. Prefer Clara.

Evelyn is lovely btw - similar style to me would be fellow vintage/retro names like Cora, Freda, Ada, Iris, Florence, Clara, Josephine, Lilian, Vivien etc
