Curiosity has got the better of me ... Edita

[Anglepoise]

Dita or Edie for short. Internet reckons it's a Spanish variant of Edith, but it seems to belong mainly to Eastern Europeans

i like it.

Have I managed to start the least controversial name thread ever?

Edie for short.

Agree with christiana that it sounds like "editor". What's wrong with Edith?

s'all right but she would have pronunciation issues, as mentioned.

I used to work with a Polish girl called Edita, never heard it while I lived in Spain. I think it's very pretty though but people will call her Edith (which IMO is not so pretty)

My Polish cleaner is Edita and to my ear it is very Eastern European. I think it is pretty (reminds me abit of Evita).

I know someone called Edita. I quite like it. People dont seem to have any problems pronouncing it.

Edith is my paternal gran's name which I like but my mum hates! Felt Edita gave more options - Dita now (I like Ms Von Teese ) and Edie if she picks that when she's older.

Go for it, it's a great name.
(I'd like Edie for mine, but DP not keen.)

Latin for "having been given out" or "having been given birth to". Most suitable!

I'm in Spain and have never met an Edita but I have taught a few Polish girls called that.

I do love Edith though. So elegant. So many role models. And it is a family name, so perfect. Don't mess with it!

How about Edyta...after that dancer in Dancing wityh trhe Stars....here....she is gorgeous....and the name does sound great

And Anna...I actually know an Editor...she is from Botswana....
first when I saw her name written on the rota I thought it was misspelled, lol...

I like it in itself but think it's better to avoid giving a name where the kid will constantly have to explain that 'it's like Edith but not and you pronounce it x y z.'

Thanks - my main concerns were that it sounded either made-up or a bit try-hard, so my mind is now put at rest

It sounds like a verb in Spanish, not a name.

Tbh, it's horrible. Edith is much,much nicer.
If you want something withthat flavour, what about Elvira?

I really like it. I also like Vita.

I would stick with Edith. It's nicer then Edita.

Sounds a bit like a badly spoken version of the word editor.

I would stick with Edith, with Edie for short. That is my fave-if-I-were-to-have-another-baby-name of the moment.

I know Vita is a nn for Victoria, but I didn't know it was used as a name in its own right. Is it?

It's quite nice.

Edita quite nice too. Not smitten though.

Edith seems not very pretty to me.

Edith and Elvira.....people...really....those names are as bad as Agnes abd Gertrude, lol....

Saying that I do know a very stunning Edith, in Germany, where her name is pronounced Eh-dit..

How about Esther though...that is a nice name, I think....
