Message: "Edna" - Behind the Name

[Opinions] Edna

My boyfriend and I have recently started talking about what we'd name future kids (not together, just in general). He's a very sarcastic person, so a lot of his names are just comical. However, I think he was serious about liking Edna. I never really cared for it, but it's growing on me a little. It's one I could see myself compromising with.

WDYT?

I find Edna sweet in a clunky sort of way. The more I say it, the more I like it. Crisp and sharp with a sweet edge. Edna's lovely! Hmmm... I really do like it, it might end up on my lists too! :D

I like Edna, but I can't help associating the name with Dame Edna :S

I really don't like the name Edna. It makes me picture a fat old lady. No offense to anyone who like Edna.

I don't care for it. It reminds me of an old schoolmarm.

I think Edna is adorable...

I also love the similar Elva (reminds me of cute elves and fairies). Also Edith/Edythe is lovely.

Ditto Elva / Elvy and Edith.

Love Edna. I love any name that transports me to the past and Edna / Eithne brings me back to early Ireland. Wonderful.

I prefer Eithne ("ET-nuh"), but Edna is great too.

I like masculine Ed- names too much myself to ever consider it, but I wouldn't mind meeting a little Edna. I think I'd prefer Edith or Edina, but Edna has a bit of spunk to it.
