Enid

[Erin_25]

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 think Enid is lovely!

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.

I LOVE Enid...and Ivy DH vetoed both! lol

FWIW I also loved Maisie, Daisey and Tilly

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

Wow Lime, I have never seen the meaning before, purity suited my mum perfectly.

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.

Enid is really cute! A lot of the old names have or are making a comeback - Ruby, Grace, Isobella/Isobel, Ivy, Rose, Elsie (our choice for a middle name), etc.

Your baby will suit the name you choose and don't worry what others say. Another name you might like to consider is Eden. It sounds a bit like Enid but has a bit of a modern spin to it.
