If you are hestitant about using Enid, then maybe you can use it as a middle name??
But really it doesn't matter what you call your child as long as you like it, thats all that matters. These days there are so many unusual individual names that I don't think it matters as much in this day and age.
I too really love the old style names......really like stella if we were to have a girl. I am a fan of Ivy, it was my grandmothers middle name........I mentioned it once & my mum almost fell of her chair LOL she was not a fan.
I think Enid is cute, but would want to be 100% sure first. I once worked with a lovely lady called enid. She was tiny & just soooo nice. The name gives me "warm fuzzies". I also love the other names you mentioned - Lucy being my fav (but that's my mum & dad's dogs name) & am a huge fan of evie atm too. goodluck.
I had to come into this thread cause Enid was my mum's name and her mum's too and they were both such beautiful people. Having said that mum didn't like her name much LOL and I was glad she didn't call me that too.
If you love it, and she suits it, go for it! I think Enid is a beautiful name, and she will prove to have the strength of character to pull it off
FYI too - Enid (Eneit) is Welsh, and literally translated it means "soul" or "purity" - the word it is derived from means "to breathe" - perfect for a daughter I think
I LOVED Enid, it was my top name choice - I was dead set on it and argued with DH for a solid three months over it. I love the meaning, I love the vibe, I love the sound of it. I even love Enid Blyton. LOL Unhappily DH flatly refused. (He was o/seas for most of that time - i reckon I could've worn him down better if he was at home LOL). We ended up with an Elisabeth instead. I think Enid will be making a comeback VERY SOON. Get in now before it's too popular again, I reckon.
