[Opinions] Editha
I just recently came across this. It was used in the late 1700s, early 1800s. WDYT? I rather like it.

Depends on the pronunciation. Edith with an -a is not encouraging, but the German version of e DEE ta is good.

A needless elaboration of Edith. It adds nothing TO Edith.

Kinda of the reason I like it.I wouldn't use it, but I like the idea behind of it. I'm not sure if I can explain it - it's the type of name someone would have used during that time period to make their daughter appear more "elegant."

And to explain thatbecause that probably makes no sense...I like that because that's what my family did - they did everything to make themselves sound "classier," so it reminds me of a name that a relative might have had. It's in my "if I ever write fiction" name bank.

It's definitely interesting. I like it too.

I've heard it used in Eastern Europe. It's ok, but I prefer Edith overall.
