Enid?

[notaephron]

Are my pregnant hormones making me insane? Is Enid cute but strong?

It's lovely.

Some of the very old names have some glamour and sweetness about them. Enid is not one of them...very frumpy and dull

Love it. Was on my shortlist for DD2 (along with Winifred, Edith, Mabel and Martha).

God.no...right up there with Olive for fugly names for me

I like it.

Lovely

My Nain (grandmother) was a Welsh Enid, so have to agree it's a good name.

But do think the pronunciation makes all the difference, has completely different vibes pronounced as Eee-nid, and less keen on it.

I love it op ❤️

@User18273645 I also love Olive 😂

It would be the anglicised EE-nid pronunciation, for those asking, and I dislike Edith for some reason... I think it's the th! Find Enid much prettier in sound.

Also love Edie but not sure it's enough of a name by itself.

Thanks for all the replies - more positive than I thought, but quite love / hate it seems!

Lol well world would be a boring place if we all liked the same things @notaephron

Enid in Welsh is also a granny's name and not one that has come back into fashion afaik

Love Edie but I dislike Enid, I find it frumpy. But then so is Olive.

I love Edith...

I loathe Enid - I find it ugly. But I also loathe Olive, Agnes and Edith which others have mentioned! I like hard names like Bridget but I think it's the nid sound I find unpleasant.

But I don't like Lily or Amelie or Maeve either and don't judge them or their parents! We're all different!

You don't really get the nid sound with the Welsh pronunciation.
I quite like Agnes and Bridget but don't particularly like Olive, Edith, Lily, Amelie or Maeve.

I love it

Enid is lovely . It is the name of the cat from Hey Duggee.
