Re: Edith vs. Elizabeth
in reply to a message by fern.avalon
My MIL's names are Edith Elizabeth. She never used either of them and just went by Bunty. Both her names were given for family reasons: the family tradition of honouring names is very strong. FWIW they're Scottish.
I have tried, but I really don't enjoy Edith. It's better than Ethel, but that's as far as I go. My daughter's first mn is Elizabeth, because it's beautiful and because of my MIL, who was delighted.
