I've been wondering why babies weren't being named
Edith for several years now. It fits in perfectly with the old-fashioned-name-with-a-super-cute-nickname trend. Yet somehow it has dropped from #565 in 2000 to #842 in 2009, but was #820 last year. Maybe it's a late bloomer. Anyway... an aquaintance from a message board I used to be on just had a baby girl,
Edith Blythe. Very pretty, methinks, though a bit thhy.
I used to love
Edith, like I would've used it. I guess I got bored with it, and it's started to feel too frilly and bubbly to me (weird, right?). I thought maybe some new combos that made it feel more mature would help me come back around to it.
My old combos were
Edith Cyneburga,
Edith Isobel, and
Edith Olwen. Then I made some new ones:
Edith Birdie
Edith MarjorieEdith PhaedraEdith FenellaEdith BethanEdith MaudieEdith Alberta - this has a pretty good balance
Edith EmmanuelleEdith Philippine - I like how elegant this is
Edith TemperanceEdith HopeEdith Remembrance - thought maybe some virtue names would work. Kinda.
I don't know. Like any? Have your own
Edith combo you love? Maybe it needs some stuff more up the
Cyneburga alley.
