[Opinions] Re: Edna
I'm with you that it's hideous! I know my great aunt (born in the 1920s) is Kathleen Edna and I think there were other Edna's of her generation in our family.When I was a child Evil Edna was the name of an angry television set in a cartoon (Willo the Wisp) so I also think of that which is a bit of an off-putting image! https://www.google.co.uk/search?source=univ&tbm=isch&q=evil+edna&safe=strict&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiSuKfq4pLrAhVUTsAKHcBuCSgQsAR6BAgIEAE&biw=1366&bih=625As for it's appeal at the time, I'm not sure. It's short and catchy. I think there were other names with a harsh sound which were popular at the time like Hilda, Freda, Brenda etc. Mind you, they are all equally hideous! Must have just been a popular sound like today we have Eva, Ava, Evie etc.
