Two questions.

Hi
1st question - what do you think of the name Enid? Ds was nearly this if a dd. Considering it again. To go with siblings Iris, Eli, Pearl and Amos

2nd question - do you think that Mumsnet baby names forum is representative of a names popularity in rl? I have seen my dc's kids mentioned lately and a lot of other names that have been on my lists (eg recent post of Jethro) and just wonder if that means that they are on the rise?

1. goes with the others, I'd say
2. yes, especially in London/SE/big English cities

OOh - do you have a link to the Times endangered list - would be interested to see that!

[Tinker]

1. Don't like it but it does go with the others.
2. I think it is representative of middle classes, especially in the inner cities.

1. I don't like Enid at all.

1. The names that are suggested on the MN baby names forum are certainly NOT names that come up where I live and work in the South East!

1. I love it. I like Edith too and Elsie.
2. You do seem to get true opinions that represent the masses on here. It's good because then parents can avoid making horrendous name blunders. I once knew a girl named Natalie Lee!!
