HelpRe: Thoughts on the name Heidi?
in reply to a message by Guest
It feels very stereotypical. Her brother is called Hans, she has blonde braids, and chops wood with a huge axe (and impressive forearms).

I would have agreed with this until I started meeting Heidis in real life. I read the book as a kid but never met any Heidis until I was around 21, but then I suddenly started meeting them and now it feels less stereotypical and more like any regular person's name.

That's fair - I've never met one, I imagine my perception would be different if I have!
