Which name do you prefer: Edith or Mavis?

Question

Which name do you prefer: Edith or Mavis?

Answer 1

I like the name Edith better. It sounds old fashioned and sweet. The nickname Eddie is cute as well.  

Answer 2

Edith because you can call her Edie, (like Edie Falco).

Answer 3

Honestly, I don't like either one; they're a little too old-fashioned for me.  I always think of Edith Bunker when I hear the name Edith.  Mavis is very Southern sounding, too.

Answer 4

both are old fashion and they will be beat up on the playground

Answer 5

mavis cool

Answer 6

i like Edith, like edie sedgwick  

Answer 7

HI!

I am for traditional names, but Mavis, is too old sounding I think, and I don't think she will like her name in the long run.

Edith is kind of cute, I can picture that, but you have to think about how the child is going to feel as a young child with that name, as well as an adult with that name. An adult, no problem, but may not like as a child.  I think it is a name that could definitely grow on someone!

Good luck to you!

Answer 8

I personally think Mavis is an awesome name. It's so old/worn-out, it's COOL. Edith is alright, it's more normal. A little old fashioned.

The name Mavis is ironic and retro.

Answer 9

I like Mavis.  

Answer 10

I prefer Edith, but Mavis could work. With nicknames like Edi and May, I think both are pretty nice. I would suggest something a little more "fresh" for the middle names like Edith Amelia, Edith Faith, Edith Olivia, Mavis Charlotte, Mavis Cora, and Mavis Eve.

Answer 11

i like Mavis it sounds that a lot of people wouldn't have it

Answer 12

I'm not really a big fan of either of them, but if I had to choose...Edith.

Answer 13

neither and ur child won't like them either......pick a different name!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 14

I think they are both very unique names!

I prefer Edith though, its really different & it stands out! (:

Answer 15

I don't like either. If I had to pick, I guess Mavis. Edith Bunker is all that comes to mind with that one. I went to school with a girl whose last name was Mavis, so to me it isn't a first name.

But then again that is just my opinion. You should name your child whatever YOU love.

Answer 16

Neither. The first sounds like a name a grandma would have. Not to be critical, but I generally think of a woman with a cane with white hair when I hear "Edith."

Answer 17

I like the name Edith, there are good nicknames like "Eddie, or Eddi" from desperate housewives.  :)

Answer 18

Mavis
