HelpRe: Thoughs on Doris and Edith?
in reply to a message by Fictionlover94
Well, I like both. . . but I have for years. Honestly, my like for them is dwindling as I see them starting to pique the minds of hispter and retro parents everywhere.
Edith is especially getting a lot of buzz online (even on this board). I love the sound of it, the simplicity and the old-fashioned femininity. I know it is not everyone's cup of tea... but I would use it myself. That said, most people who are not name lovers probably haven't thought too much about Edith, but they will. I expect someone famous to use it soon and it to hit mainstream within a couple of years - but I could totally be wrong too!
As for Doris, it's one of those unexpected names. There is such an old-lady vibe that you have to take a minute and say it to yourself before you realize how adorable it really is. The only reason I didn't suggest it to DH is because some good friends of the family have a parent named Doris who is just not a nice lady. I didn't want her to taint the name if we used it. But, without that connection... I would have suggested it in a heartbeat.
I do kinda like Dory though.
If it helps, the ladies named Doris that I know - just go by the full Doris, and one goes by Dee for some reason.
