Edith's getting a bit more popular in certain circles, but it's very much an old-lady name to most people. But to me, that isn't the reason I dislike it; I think it has an ugly combination of sounds, especially the th ending. If kids make fun of an Edith, and it really is about her name, it's more likely they'll make fun of it for sounding like "eat it."
