Edina, Alida and Aida
Edina, Alida and Aida ("ah-EE-da") have been on my mind today. What do you think of them? What mns would you put with them? What do you think of Edie as a nn for either Edina or Aida? Any thoughts / comments are welcome. Thanks.

Edina - Reminds me of the character on "Absolutely Fabulous" nn Eddie. Wouldn't really want my kid named after her, lol. Adina is slightly better (nn Addie?). And I like Idina but only because of Idina Menzel. :b Alida - This is my least favorite of the 3. It just does nothing for me. But I don't like Leda or Lita, either. Aida - I think of the opera, or a Spanish baby I once took care of (but her name was prn. more like EYE-ih-dah). Edie could definitely work as a nn for either of those, I think.

I dislike Edina--it's a suburb of the Twin Cities where nearly everyone is rich and snobby. Also, my ex-roommate came from there. D:Alida is really pretty, though, and Jane Aida "Janey" was one of my top combos, once upon a time. I really love Aida and Alida both.And I like Edie, but I like it best for Edith.Array

Jane Aida is a lovely combination. I'm going to submit your BtN resume to the nearest orphanage so you can use all of your great combinations on deserving children. :-)(And I love Edith, nn Edie too.)

I like Alida best. Edina reminds me too much of the incorrigible drunk from "Absolutely Fabulous" (and Edie is too "Desperate Housewives" for me) and Aida just doesn't do much for me. I think of the musical, but that's all.

Lol. "Absolutely Fabulous" is another reason I like the name Edina. Her character was born Edwina Margaret Rose, but she thought Edwina was not "glam" enough and dropped the "d." It's so hilariously pretentious that I had to love it.Glad you like Alida. I first heard it on the Hungarian actress Alida Valli (sp?). If you ever see the old movie "The Third Man," she's the lead female character. Very elegant. She makes me love the name.

Thanks! I love:Edina Mabel

Edina CatherineIsobel especially brings out the old English flavor of Edina, to my ears. Thanks again.
