Good for you! It takes some guts to like Edith. I personally love Edie but Edith a touch less. Edythe is awesome and my preferred spelling (it looks so medieval-queeny), but I also really like the French Édith (ay-DEET).Actually hey I just realized, I like Edith Piaf and that would be a swell namesake. And Edie is so jazzy and sharp. Now I'm on an EDITH KICK!Edith Sparrow, how's that for a Piaf-worthy combo

I think Edith "Edie" is just lovely. I do prefer just Edie as a full name though personally.

Interestingly, despite really disliking both Edith and Matilda, they do flow well together.

I love Edie! Edith is OK, but I'd only use it so that I could use Edie as a nickname.My great-great Aunt was called Edie, her brother and sisters were Reg (Reginald) and May.

That's how I feel... I get called "Edie" fairly often even though my name isn't Edith, and I really love it. Unfortunately, it's hard to find a more aesthetic full first name to allow for it as a middle name :(

What is your name - I can't think of any others which might have Edie other than Edith...

May be on the "comeback" in Sweden, but the American stats still have it going DOWN in the charts.

I still find it really unattractive. Edie's an ok nn, but there's just something old and frumpy about Edith.

I was at school with an Edith Linda Marie! She never used a nn to my knowledge. They were a Scottish family, and she is the only English-speaking Edith I've ever met, though I was also at school with a German Editha.Unfortunately for the name, where I live there's a popular cartoon character - a grumpy old gin-swigging grandmother - named Edith, which I thought was perfect until it turned out she had an identical twin sister named Abigail.

you know which cartoon characters i think of? i think of Betty and Veronica chasing after Archie and then i think of big Ethel chasing after Jughead. but then Jughead only cares about eating hamburgers. i believe that namesakes go a long way in shaping people's perceptions of names.

Edith is one of my favorite names! Her earthy, bookish elegance enchants me.

I LOVE EDITH! But... I do NOT like Edie as a nickname. I'm more into Eda or something.
