HelpRe: Edna
in reply to a message by abbasdaughter
One of my cousins-once-removed is named Edna. Even as a child, I thought the name was very old ladyish for someone her age (I believe she was in high school when I was just starting elementary school). [Maybe not... just checked my family tree, she'll be 39 in January)
She's actually the only Edna I know.
It's sort of old and ugly to me, but in an ugly-sweater sort of way. I can easily imagine a hipster using it.

names go in and out of fashion and what was hot back in 1970 is no longer trendy today. Edith and Edna strike me as being very trendy in their day. maybe in the year 1950 a name like Edith was a hot choice. i really think that Edie is pretty sounding as a nickname. today there are brand new names that i haven't heard of before. for example the names Grayson and Kaybree are newer names, and so is the Madison name. and that's how i see the Edith name, i see that it was a trendy name from a different era.

but that era was a couple decades before 1950... Edith was already moving out of fashion by then.
