HelpRe: Edith or Enid?
in reply to a message by guru
Enid, probably.
Oddly enough, Edith is used now and then in my area, (French-speaking), in spite of the difficulity EVERYONE has in saying the "th" sound. So it's Edit. (Ee-dit.)
Actually, Ruth, also..Root.

That reminds me of how my preschooler kept mispronouncing Edith after seeing Despicable Me: Eat it.
Edith was lucky one--poor Agnes was mangled into "Assness."

Ee-dit is how fictional New Yorker Archie Bunker said his wife's name. That's why every time I see Edith written out, I think, "Ee-dit." Then I think of a dingbat. Which is why I'm not overly fond of Edith. But I wasn't going to say so initially, because I think that associations can get tiresome and out-of-hand.
