What do you think of Heidi for a girl?

Still need a boys name! My other boys have uncommon names, definitely the only ones in their class / school so want something along these lines.

Suggestions most welcome 😊

Its lovely. Not overly common, most people can pronounce and spell- I really like it.

It's not my personal style, I find it a bit twee. Hi-dee-hi campers!

However, all that matters is that you both like it. Don't get too hung up on what may or may not be repeated at school though as there are no guarantees. We have several children at our school with top 20 names who are the only ones (some top 20 names we don't even have any of). Yet some pretty random names have been duplicated. Pick a name because you love it, not because it's not overly popular in the national stats.

Lovely!

I like it, I know a lovely little Heidi.

I love it. It was on my list. I picture a quirky, feisty, strong little girl who loves being in nature.

I'm not keen.

My DC (reception) has a Heidi in her year at school, but she's the only one I know.

My DD had one in her year and they are turning 25 now. I think it’s a lovely name and not over used so hadn’t aged badly

Really like Heidi.

It's lovely. I associate it with blond hair, so bonus if your little girl is fair.

I like it, it’s not super common but everyone will know it and no issues with pronunciation or spelling

Love it. Well known name but not over used I don’t think. I don’t know any. Sweet and sort of exotic but quite chic as an adult. It’s its own nickname too - don’t know how you’d shorten it… maybe Dee.

Love it!!! And Peter would be the obvious boy’s name…!!!

Sorry I don't get the connection 🤣

I do love Peter though, it was my grandads name!

I grew up with a horrible second cousin Heidi and yes she was Swiss but memories of her have faded and I really like it now. I think it's sassy

I don't like it. It feels like a perpetual insubstantial little girl's name. The link with Peter is that he and Heidi play with goats on the mountain.

Really nice. Lovely name.

Heidi is sweet.

Back in 70s, there was a popular tv series, ‘Heidi’ based on a book. Peter was the name of one the main male characters. People may assume you chose the name because of the book or tv series.

Heidi is rather nice.

Same! Blond curls. Lovely name, I think it is great at all ages.

I really like it.

Love Heidi! One of my favourite names at the moment and you don’t hear it often.

Heidi is lovely. I know two young Heidis, aged 14 and 5.

Y sil, almost 60 is Heidi it's a lovely name

Lovely! I’m a teacher and I have never taught Heidi until the last year when I have taught two. It’s pretty.
