HelpRe: Edith
in reply to a message by guru
Edith seems as classic as Elizabeth or Dorothy to me, but Enid seems antique. Edith seems graceful at all ages, to me, while Enid always sounds like a crone, sort of shrewd and tough - and I find it hard to name a baby daughter names that are all crone. Also I think Enid sounds like a type of insect or worm. I'm assuming it's pronounced EN-id, but if it's pronounced EEN-id I think it sounds way too much like a type of insect, maybe a larva. Weird.

I've *never* heard it pronounced EN-id. Only EEN-id.

Honestly, neither have I. But I am really just that boggled, that you could like it if it were pronounced EEN-id. I can only imagine anyone thinking it was nice if it were EN-id. I think Enid (EEN-id to me, too) is quite awful. Something about the way my nose closes when I make the sounds.
