I voted Edith because I love the nn Edie. I'm over the nn Evie.

Edith Louise

I love Edith! And Edie is an adorable nn. I'm kind of over Evelyn.

Thanks! It's the great Edie Evie debate in our house right now.

Edith

I voted Evelyn, b/c I think it's prettier than Edith. Not a huge fan of Edith. But, if you love it and/or have reasons to use Edith, it's certainly more unique.

Not a huge fan of either, but Edith is very ugly in my opinion.

I feel like Evelyn is pretty common so I votes for Edith

It also makes me think of the 3 little girls from Despicable Me -- Margot, Edith, and Agnes. Adorbs.

Don't like Edith at all. Evelyn is ok.

DaisyZH · November 2014

I really like Edith!

My great grandmother was actually Evelyn Louise so I find that combination so lovely.
However, I love Edith. DD2 was almost Edith, but DH won and we went with Isla.
I don't think you could go wrong, but Evelyn is more common than Edith.

I was going to vote Edith, but then I saw that your son is Ethan, and I think that Edith and Ethan are too close with the long e and the "th" sounds in common. So I choose Evelyn.

KateLouise · November 2014

That was tough for me. I like Evelyn better than Edith, but Edie better than Evie.

Would you intend to use the full name or a nickname?

brose1117 · November 2014

I really like both. I voted for Edith because I never hear it.

Coconuthead · November 2014

I like them both but chose Edith because it is less common.

oliversbear · November 2014

I like Evelyn, but I'm over it. In the past year 4 friends have named their daughter Evelyn.

I wouldn't use Edith because of a bad family association, but it's a perfectly fine name and much less common than Evelyn.

Other suggestions:
Eileen
Enid
Elspeth
Elke

I had a student named Evelyn that we called Evie. Sweet girl.

We would more than likely use a nickname but that is not a definite. Edith is my husband's favorite and Evelyn is mine but Edie is starting to grow on me. I know our names aren't everyone's cup of tea, but I appreciate all the opinions!
