Help[Opinions] Re: Edwina
in reply to a message by RDNZL
I would LOVE to use Hilda as a first name however there are two major problems.
1. Hilda is my grandmothers name and she HATES it. Absolutely hates it.
2. Never have I heard/seen such negative reactions to a name before. Generally it doesn't bother me, however everyone seems to have a very strong reaction to it.. I remember myself as a kid hated the sound of it, so it's more difficult to use a name that everyone seems to passionately hate! (Even my very neutral friends have begged me not to use it, which surprised me a lot!)

I think Hilda is better than Edwina. But that's just me. :P
If I were Hilda, though, I would go by Hildy or Hilly. I would freshen it up a bit, make it a little younger. I don't have anything against Hilda, but I can see how your friends might not be on board, LOL. It's a very old name, and not in the way Charlotte or Alice are old.
