I've been wondering why babies weren't being named Edith for several years now. It fits in perfectly with the old-fashioned-name-with-a-super-cute-nickname trend. Yet somehow it has dropped from #565 in 2000 to #842 in 2009, but was #820 last year. Maybe it's a late bloomer. Anyway... an aquaintance from a message board I used to be on just had a baby girl, Edith Blythe. Very pretty, methinks, though a bit thhy.

I used to love Edith, like I would've used it. I guess I got bored with it, and it's started to feel too frilly and bubbly to me (weird, right?). I thought maybe some new combos that made it feel more mature would help me come back around to it.

My old combos were Edith Cyneburga, Edith Isobel, and Edith Olwen. Then I made some new ones:
Edith Birdie
Edith Marjorie
Edith Phaedra
Edith Fenella
Edith Bethan
Edith Maudie
Edith Alberta - this has a pretty good balance
Edith Emmanuelle
Edith Philippine - I like how elegant this is
Edith Temperance
Edith Hope
Edith Remembrance - thought maybe some virtue names would work. Kinda.

I don't know. Like any? Have your own Edith combo you love? Maybe it needs some stuff more up the Cyneburga alley.
