    I used to really like it, before I was married. Prefer Edith or Enid now, goes better with our surname. Mum hates both, big plus (not that I want to annoy her, it's just that she has terrible taste in everything)
    I love the name Aubrey for a boy - discovered it at about the same time.

    Snuggly - Enid was at the top top top of my list but DH wouldn't have a bar of it so we got an Elisabeth instead. Enid has a nicer meaning than Edith.

    Yep I know a couple of Ediths now - it seems to be getting more usage... A few ppl i know have Edith's that they called Edie for short - pretty gorgeous! (though Edith isnt a name that I woudl use personally but I like it on these bubs)
    MD I didnt think so but i thought... well if a woopsie has happened....

    I think Aurelia is gorgeous.

    Eunice makes me think of an old strict spinster... Somebody said it was a biblical name, but i don't know it - can somebody tell me a source so i can see what it is in Hebrew?

    Eunice to me is - YUK!!! Sorry!

    Aurelia is nicer but still a bit frilly for my liking!

    Yael - Eunice was Timothy's mother (New Testament) so I think it may be Greek

    MD - I love the name Eunice - was my Grandmothers name.I wanted to use it as a middle name but DH wasnt keen.
    I prefer the traditional pronunciation of You-nee-see to You-niss
