[Opinions] Re: Edina, Alida and Aida
in reply to a message by Bear
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.
