Edie

[CrushWithEyeliner]

do you visualise Sedgewick or Macredie?

Neither

I like the name though

I have an Edie (Edith) and she has very much made it her own name

I like Edith.

My mate Edith hated it and shortened to Edie. It suits her. She's mid 40's.

Love the name - makes me think of Ciao Baby (for Edie) by The Cult - great song also.

makes me think of edie brit from desperate housewives but stil i think it's lovely =]
i like it as short for edith as well as just on its own

It makes me think of the Cult song too - which is about Edie Sedgwick.

Or Edie Brickell

I wouldn't automatically visualise Edie Macredie

I love it but it is a strange little name....

love it !

I love Edith with Edie as a shortening. Don't think you should use Edie as the "proper" name though - give her the choice when she's older. You can just always use Edie even if her birth certificate says Edith.

Agree with seeker. Edith is actually rather beautiful.

Edie doesn't sound like a real name on its own - a bit like being christened Millie or Evie or Tilly. Give has a proper name, and let her shorten it when she chooses.

We have an Edith, shortened to Edie. We do call her Macredie (at home) as our DD1 (3 yrs) thinks it's funny.

I love it, but be prepared for a few "oh" responses when you tell people.

My friend has a little girl called Edith, and its such a pretty name and not so common. She also gets called Edie

I really like it. I would put Edith on the bc though. Not Eden. Eden is ch*v

Edith Sitwell is who I think of!

Edith Wharton
Edith Cavell
Edith Piaf
Edith Weston (small village near Stamford

I like the name but it's Edith not Edie please. Otherwise it is Macredie.

Surprised to hear so many Ediths - I know one (and I know a lot of children)

Abouteve an Edith in her 40s (my age) is very unusual isn't she! I had a school pal called Sophie - she would fit righ tin among a gaggle of 7yos today!

is lovely. dd2 (20mo) would approve, she's quite the balamory fan and her answer to many questions is "i know!... edie!". often she'll come out with it apropos of nothing at all...
