I definitely like more vintage names, but I don’t like “old lady” names. [name_f]Esther[/name_f] and [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] come to mind as examples of still in the “old lady” realm. I’m starting to really like [name_f]Edith[/name_f] nn [name_f]Edie[/name_f], but I fear it’s more in the category with [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] and [name_f]Esther[/name_f].
So, where do you think [name_f]Edith[/name_f] falls? With the old ladies or is it ready to be “cool” again?
[name_f]Edith[/name_f] is definitely making a comeback, so yep, she’s cool. (I personally love her … and [name_f]Nora[/name_f]!) But she’s not yet well-established to the point of trendy like [name_f]Nora[/name_f].
I think [name_f]Edith[/name_f] is very cool. I’d loved to see it used, especially in [name_u]North[/name_u] [name_u]America[/name_u]. Movies like American Hustle may make the name more popular.
I think [name_f]Edith[/name_f] is usable. Plus you can use the nn [name_f]Edie[/name_f].
I love it!!
I really like it, especially if you use [name_f]Edie[/name_f] as her nickname. I think it’s making a comeback, with Dowton [name_u]Abbey[/name_u] being so popular, those classic names are now reapearing.
Yes, with the Downton [name_u]Abbey[/name_u] character, [name_f]Edith[/name_f] is on everybody’s radar. Actually, just today I heard a ten-or-so year old girl yell up to her friend on the ski slopes: “[name_f]Edith[/name_f]! [name_f]Edith[/name_f] are you okay?” [name_f]Edith[/name_f] looked to be an eight-or-so year old, and she was the cutest thing! (Poor girl was struggling with her skis, though :()I actually have been on the fence about [name_f]Edith[/name_f] myself, and hearing that made me certain - [name_f]Edith[/name_f] definitely works in my book!
I think [name_f]Edith[/name_f] will definitely make a comeback. It makes me think of Downton [name_u]Abbey[/name_u], which I love. [name_f]Edie[/name_f] is a cute nickname. But, I actually don’t think [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] is so old-fashioned that it’s unusable, either. I like The [name_m]Wizard[/name_m] of [name_m]Oz[/name_m]. LOL! I went to college with a girl named [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] nickname [name_f]Dottie[/name_f].
I think that [name_f]Edith[/name_f] is wearable in a modern context, especially with the nickname [name_f]Edie[/name_f].
I adore [name_f]Edith[/name_f] and the nickname [name_f]Edie[/name_f] is adorable and sweet. I think it’s just over the cusp of old lady to trendy.
[name_f]Edith[/name_f] is definitely comeback-ready! Maybe not for another couple of years, but Downton [name_u]Abbey[/name_u] should help it along.
Can it make a comeback? Yes, but give it a little time to be sure.
Atm, I think it is still in the “old lady zone” for the time being.
[name_f]Edith[/name_f] is my all-time favorite girls name! I liked it before Downton [name_u]Abbey[/name_u] and Despicable Me, but those only solidified my love of the name. [name_f]Every[/name_f] time I hear it, it makes me smile.
I plan to use it for my firstborn daughter, though I intend to use the nickname [name_f]Edie[/name_f] more often than the full name. Still, [name_f]Edith[/name_f] has so much history and has a vintage feel to it. Can’t go wrong with it!
I know an 18-month-old [name_f]Edith[/name_f] called [name_f]Edie[/name_f] most of the time. It’s darling on her, and she wears it so well that she’s completely convinced of the name’s marvelosity. I’d been skeptical.
[name_f]Edith[/name_f] is very cool, at least to me! [name_f]Edith[/name_f] has been getting more exposure lately due to Downton [name_u]Abbey[/name_u], so I think that it’s definitely ready for a comeback.
Sure, nothing wrong with [name_f]Edie[/name_f] 
[name_f]Nor[/name_f] [name_f]Esther[/name_f] or [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] for that matter! I went to school with a [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Dotty[/name_f]) and one of my teachers named his daughter [name_f]Esther[/name_f]. She’ll be about ten now.
I personally really like [name_f]Edith[/name_f], and it is in the discussion for our daughter, but I agree that it is right on the cusp of vintage/fresh and vintage/old… Not sure if we’d be able to use if for the same reason!
To me it screams ‘crabby old lady’. I don’t like the th- sound in names anyway. Sorry.
I love the nn [name_f]Edie[/name_f] but am iffy in [name_f]Edith[/name_f]. I don’t love it but I don’t hate it.
I think [name_f]Edith[/name_f] will see a revival in the same way [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] has, but I don’t see it hitting the top 100 anytime soon.
