I love it! It's my mom's name.

I like it, though I wouldn’t use it. I’d love to meet a little girl named Heidi though.

It's so cute and very pretty name but it sounds like "hide-y" for me.

I like the name Heidi, It seems sweet. My grandmother used to have a dog called Heidi and I think it works well for both people and pets.

tbh I feel like it will get easily mispronounced to "HEY"di instead of "HI"di

I find it clunky and I don’t see the appeal. I’ve known several.

It feels very stereotypical. Her brother is called Hans, she has blonde braids, and chops wood with a huge axe (and impressive forearms).

I've known a few. All of them very nice people. I prefer it to Adelheid, though usually I prefer the full name to a nn. Unlike most nns, Heidi seems OK for adults as well as children; even elderly adults.

I grew up loving the book by Johanna Spyri, and my grandmother had a dog name Heidi; I find this name charming and elegant!

Love it

I think it's very cute, spunky and cheerful, entirely feminine without a lot of fuss to it.

It’s cute! It kind of has a cottagecore aesthetic. It was one of my faves when I was a kid so I feel a sense of loyalty to it haha.
I think it ages really well.

I think it's really cute but also competent. Some cute names come with a lack of confidence, but Heidi knows what she's doing. She's just usually very cheerful about it.

Heidi also has this subtle but satisfying warm 70s filter to it. It's not dated exactly, not in a clunky or tired way. Its familiar and friendly. It just has a nice relaxed golden glow, a late afternoon sort of name. Some 70s names in particular give me this feeling. Heidi, Holly, Bonnie, Robin, April, etc.... They all have a charmingly laid-back agelessness.

I've always found it grating and juvenile, I'm afraid.
