Hello, new here and after opinions on the name Heidi.
Do you think she will get teased too much with the heidi hi /yodeling connotations?

I agree with chequers, KK, drug-addled mess that she is picked sensible names for her children.

(Molly and Lily too alike for sisters, but individually they are not silly or chavy names).

There's also Seal's wife actress Heidi Klum.

I think of Heidi from the Sugababes first, eventhough heidi was one of my favourite books when i was younger. but I bet a lot of ppl haven't even heard of that book now.

I really like it too. the Kerry Katona thing wouldnt bother me at all - she may be a bit of a train wreck at the moment but i think all her children have nice names. like you say - who is going to say to DD in 10 years time - oh like Kerry Katona's daughter!

personally i prefer heidi to phoebe but that is also a very lovely name.

I didn't see this thread but thought I'd mention that I had a little girl on the 2nd of Jan and called her Heidi!!!!!! Mrsjuan...I think you have great taste!!!!
I just decided to search the name thread for views on my choice!

lovely =]
but then i know an absoloutly gorgeous funny lovable 7yo called heidi, and its the name of a pretty cool relative of mine in her 20s aswell so has great links in my mind

on the kerry katona link - its a "normal" name so really its not that much of an issue in my eyes - it's not really in the league of apple or fifi trixabel which makes everyone instantly think of the celebrities who thought of it first =] doesnt have that instant identifier imo - very much a name that will become lo's own rather than someone elses iyswim

i think im waffling.....

I love Heidi, wanted it for ds has he been a girl. dh didn't like it one bit.
Dont think I would of got my own way this time. (did with dd, dh wasnt fussed on her name but now loves it).

Ooh, congrats Olipop. You lucky thing - getting to call your dd Heidi.

NancysGarden · 09/01/2009 22:47

It's lovely

Spoilt by Katona

Congratulations Olipop - I'm sure your Heidi is beautiful! I'm really leaning towards it now - starting to think of the baby as being called Heidi now rather than pudding!
