Im not pregnant, or pallning anotherbaby just yet.

Just liked the name and wondered what are opinions are on it.

And maybe a possible middle name because i just cant think of one that would go atall.

Really don't like it at all, I'm afraid!

DorotheaPlenticlew · 10/05/2010 14:13

When I was at grade school (primary) in the US in the 80s there were millions of Heidis, so I do think of it as a name associated with that time & therefore a bit dated.

Not sure if it had the same degree of popularity here at the time, though.

I'm not keen. I don't even know why I don't like it.

Clara, though is lovely.

LuluF · 10/05/2010 14:27

Clara was in 'Heidi', too wasn't she?

mopsyflopsy · 10/05/2010 14:28

Klara (from Frankfurt) .

LuluF · 10/05/2010 14:29

Of course - it would be with a 'K'.

oceryo · 10/05/2010 16:15

Not keen, sorry.

paulaplumpbottom · 10/05/2010 16:17

Its a lovely name for your future yodeler!

whatwasthatagain · 10/05/2010 16:23

I love it, and don't remember if ever being popular.

LetThereBeRock · 10/05/2010 16:58

I really like it.

KittyTwoShoes · 10/05/2010 21:32

I'm not a fan - it makes me want to yodel. Sorry.

ja9 · 10/05/2010 21:37

I LOVE it and seriously considered it... and it would be a serious contender if i was to have another.

Also really like Clara and Greta

tammy234 · 10/05/2010 22:10

Don't like it. I do like Clara and Greta though.

swanandduck · 11/05/2010 12:51

No, makes me thing of blonde plaits and dirndl skirts.

Apparently Heidi comes from the name Adelaide. Other related names include Adalheid, Adela, Adele, Della and Alice.

brennannbooth · 11/05/2010 13:15

I quite like it, for some reason I think it is a similar sort of name to Erica, which I also like. Kind of cheerleader-y.

Love Clara though and she is a nice character in the books, too.

Has anyone mentioned Kerry Katona yet? If not, wouldnt that clinch it as a "NO!!!!!!!!!"

My sister has a Heidi, she couldn't think of a name and I said if I ever had another it would be a Heidi, so as I am not, she used the name, she is Heidi Margaret (Margaret after our Mum).

Gorgeous name IMO.
