[Opinions] Edith
What are everyone’s thoughts on Edith for a little girl?

I would love to see more. Edith is sophisticated and classic.
I'm in favor. I don't see it as old-ladyish anymore. If it's dated, it's just in the sense that I picture it on a young character in fiction about the 1920s.
I proposed it as a name for our daughter, back in 2006. My husband said it'd be a "statement" and I guess he meant he thought it was unfashionable. I'd be happy if Edith was her name today, though.
I wonder if one reason people don't go for it is because it's pretty blatantly Germanic, like Mildred.

I try to be open-minded and see the "old lady" names of my youth with new eyes, and sometimes I succeed. I've never succeeded with Edith. It will forever be "old lady" to me. Hard to imagine on a child.
I LOVE it!! It’s one of my absolute favourite names
I think this name is slowly coming back into favor, but I still don't like it. It's like Evelyn (which I still don't like): stiff, overly formal, humorless.
I think it’s cute, especially with the nn Edie.
Very charming. It grows up well, and Edie is a nice nickname.
I don't like it
