I have an Edith. Can I have an Isolde?

[tortoiseonthehalfshell]

Or will they forever be 'the granny one' and 'the fancy one' iyswim.

I love BOTH names but jsut not together...but too tongue twistery IYSWIM...What are your other options???

They are both similar in that they are both so unusual. They are a bit of a tonguetwister but I don't think that should put you off.

Are you intending to have a boy - Tristan - next?

lol @ granny one and fancy one.. no i think it would be okay

I think they are both lovely names and go well together

Both great names - I love, love, love Edith - but I don't really like them together.

They are both great names and I think they are fine together

I always wanted an Edith and a Dulcie

Edith is a lovely name

I don't really 'get' Isolde, mainly because it sounds like 'I sold a..' or I sold her, really.

It'll be a curse to spell over the phone.

where does it come from, was it something by shakespeare? I can't remember.

At least you have it the right way round.

'Hello, what did you name this little one?'

'Edith; Isolde'

'Yes, I can see that she is older. What is the younger one called?'

that didn't really work did it.

oh lovely! I love Edith (I don't like all of the old lady names). Isolde is lovely and really matches Edith very well.

Edith and Anna would be odd imo (although both nice names).

Edith and Dulcie together is fabulous

I like the names but would add Margot.

Edith is gorgeous.
What do you think of Sylvia/ Dorothy/ Margaret/ Winifred type names?

sorry- Isolde is very pretty, but most people would have difficulties in knowing how it's pronounced.

Oops, I totally forgot I started this thread. Should really not do so at wine o'clock (I'm in Australia, it was close to midnight).

I love Winifred, differentID, but I don't think I can talk my husband into that. His current favourite is Frances, which I don't mind at all but don't adore. Margot, hmm. Really not sure about Dulcie, I've never thought of that.

Hmm. Hmm hmmm hmm. Thanks for feedback, I shall keep pondering.
