what do you think of the name....

[DimpledThighs]

Edith

for a girl - Edie for short.

Brutally honest please.

I love it. Edith - nice. Edie - fab! Eddy if she wants to be tom boyish.

I like Edith. Not so keen on Edie as it reminds me of Balamory!

I like Edith. I really do. But I agree that "Edie" makes me think of that bint from Balamory.

I really like and very seriously considered it for dd. It is getting very fashionable now though. AA Gill has just called one of his new twins Edith.

My DD is Edith, Edie for short, we love it and so do all our friends. Go for it.

To be brutally honest I am not a huge fan of Edith because it makes me think of my granny's friends (in their 90s), although I know that old fashioned names are v. popular right now. I don't hate it, but it wouldn't be on my list of possibilities.

I really like the name Edith.

My first thought was Edith 'Colin&Edith' off radio 1 - she's pretty cool! Is it a Scottish name, or just that she's Scottish...?

its awful IMO

i like it - can imagine bith a little girl and a grown woman being called it

Was thinking about the Edie/Factory Girl thing... I reckon that movie will be forgotten fairly soon anyway so I wouldn't worry about that!

i like both

I love Edith. Not so keen on Edie, but you can't stop the diminutives creeping in IME.

I like Edie, Edith does sound a bit old fashioned but then as other people have said, Edith on Radio 1 isn't old and the old names do seem to be coming round again.

Love both.

I like both, but Edie is becoming quite popular now, which is one reason Edith would be a more original choice as a name. Then you have the option.

I love both. I tried to convince my mate last year to go for Edie / Edith if she had a girl. Its also her nan's name so thought it was a lovely touch.

My dd is called Esme. Great name innit? Don't think I could go for Edie if I had another girl cos too similar

I wouldn't bother too much about the Sienna Miller connection tbh - will all be forgotten about shortly (though Jude Law's offal Alfle put me off that name. As did mad Maya in Coronation St)

I love Edie, suggested it to dp for our dd but it was another one that he ruled out!

I absolutely love the name Edith, would love to use it if I ever have a daughter but sadly DP's surname rules it out. I think it's such a beautiful name, am very sorry not to be able to use it.

Love it.

Love Edith and love Edie.

I like edie and edith but they are becoming v popular at least where I am!There are lots of edies

Really like it.

Aloha, what has AA Gill called his other twin?

(and why am I interested??)

I'm not 100% on Edith but like Edie

AA Gill's twins are called Edith and Isaac. My mind is full of this sort of crap!
