There is something very mysterious about this name but I like it. It is so beautiful and quiet.

Enid puts me in mind of an anemic, washed-out secretary who wears faded, oversized cardigans.

I like this. It's cute.

Enid makes me think of a quietly strong girl who is very pale and sickly.

This name seems way too foreign. It sounds more like a guy's name, and it's DISGUSTING!

I don't think of this name as unisex, but as a girl's name only, at any rate a once-popular name now associated with old ladies.

There IS a similar-sounding name, the Hebrew name Enoch, which is a guys' name or rather a grandad name nowadays.

The name is a bit old-fashioned, but not ugly or weird at all. It makes me picture a shy, mousy, wallflower-y, yet pretty girl.

Nyd, isn't that an insult? This name sounds like it should be, sorry, personal opinion! It hideous.

I have heard this pronounced as both EE-nid and eh-NEED.

It's an ugly old lady name, plus some of Enid Blyton's books are accused of being racist and/or sexist, so that puts me off.

This name reminds me of two things:
1. The Barenaked Ladies song (good song, by the way)
2. A bug
Don't ask about the second one. Enid just sounds like it would be a type of bug--to me, anyway.

I quite like this name, despite some of the other comments on this page. Yes, I think this is a strong, and yet, beautiful, name. :)

Also, I would like to say that in my book of name meanings, the name Enid is said to be derived from the Celtic Welsh "Enid", meaning "purity", but also alternatively Enid could be derived from "Enit", which is Latin and means "woodlark" (a pretty type of speckled bird, which is mainly found in Northern Europe). :)
