Enid

[Clementineapples]

Fallen in love with this for baby girl. Have changed my mind weekly though 🙈

I love it 🥺

Honestly not keen

What is going on here today!

Enid, Myrtle, and Horace.

And Cyril!
I’ve commented on those saying how awful they are as well 😂
Baby boy would have been Arlo, baby girl has had about 127 names so far 🙈

I'm the opposite. Knew exactly what what LG would be but I mostly cook boys. I struggle the most with boy names. I've had 4 boys so far

I hear Enid, I think Blyton. But actually think.it could be really cute on a little one, these "old lady" names are becoming really popular again.
Have you considered the name Edith? Similar but slightly more common now x

I like the meaning of Enid as well, spirit/life as I found out I was pregnant shortly after my mum passed away. So far she’s been everything from Olivia to Leaf so its anyone’s guess as to what will actually end up on her birth certificate

I'm gently going to suggest you change your mind again.

Keep thinking OP, keep thinking

Don’t settle in Enid! It’s very harsh sounding

The "n" sound makes it rather a "harsh" sounding name. I agree with the PP that Edith is nicer. But if you're going old lady, personally I prefer Ivy or Esme.

It's an old welsh name pronounced ENN-id. Lovely.

Enid as in Blyton is nowhere near as nice

Not particularly looking for old lady names, just trying to find a name, any name that will stick 🤣

I think it’s beautiful. Easy to pronounce, easy to spell, fits in with current trends but isn’t too popular. I love it.

Text me when she's born and I'll pick something lovely for her.

No charge.

@StrychnineInTheSandwiches I’ll hold you to that!

Ha I was just thinking the same. Enid is pretty dreadful, and I say that as someone who loves vintage names and has a DD whose name is always deemed ‘harsh-sounding’!

Of all the old names making a comeback I really can’t get on board with Enid. I looks and sounds very harsh.

What about Edie or Elsie?

That being said it really doesn’t matter what I think - if you like it go for it!

Love it

@TempsPerdu what other vintage names do you like?

I want something not that unusual, no unique spellings, nothing too flowery or babyish. Not anything that can be shortened into a nickname I don’t like (like Liz for Elizabeth etc)

Love it

Pearl, Lorna, Cora, Susan, Mary, Jean, Joan, Marjorie.

I know a gorgeous little Enid. I have to say I really don’t like the name though. It’s quite frumpy I think.

How about Astrid or Ingrid?

I'm not too keen on Enid sorry, for other vintage names how about Wren? Or Eadie?

Might fit your update...
