Re: Edna?
in reply to a message by Effie
I think of Edna Krabappel on The Simpsons. And also my Grandaunt-By-Marriage Edna, who, among other things, refused to let Mom and Uncle Roy sleep in her house when they went over to Penticton to visit their dying sister, my Aunt Flo.
If get rid of those associations, I think Edna has its own charm. But it's still sounds dowdy and "old" to me, even though I usually like names in this group. Edna's certainly better than Eddie as a full name for a girl imo.
I prefer Edith, Edda, Eden, Eden, Edana, Edwarda, or Edmé. Or Ethel, if you break out of the Ed names.
