I love
Edith, in large part thanks to how charming I find
Edie. Kind of like how I'm into
Judith and I'm tickled at the idea of a little
Judi or
Judy.
Edith sounds a little dated, but in a way that I enjoy. I could picture
Edith,
Margaret, and
Frances as sisters. If you wanted to give the name a more 'updated' feel,
Edita could be an alternative.
Edited to add: I'm also into
Edna,
Edna Elizabeth being an on-again, off-again favorite of mine. I'd use
Edie as a nickname for
Edna as well. Not too many people are into
Edna nowadays, though. :-/
