My son would have been Heidi if he had come out a girl--I LOVE IT!
It's not very common, yet well known, perfect for both a little girl or an adult, stylish and not cutesy--and my favorite part--it's GERMAN!
LOL
GL!

Thank you for your opinion. One of the reasons we liked Heidi was because our last name is very German and thought it sounded great with it. The name Heidi reminds me of the television show I used to watch on Sunday afternoons as a little girl. I really like this name but have come upon mixed reaction to it, especially from my mother-in-law. She's pretty opinionated, not in a bad way :) She doesn't hate it but was like, "oh, that's different". My mom always told me to say that when I didn't like a gift someone gave me. Oh, well, what matters is that we like it. Thanks again.

I don't think I replied yet, but I like it. ;)

My best friend's sister growing up was Heidi (mn Faith ... my friend was Gretchen Joy and their ln was Weber). I always thought it was a nice name (and she was the only one I ever knew, so uncommon, but still very familiar).

I wouldn't worry about what your MIL thinks (since she gave the noncommital "that's nice/different" type response - LOL). At least it's a traditional name that's not popular or trendy at all (and goes well with your ln). Try throwing out some random trendy or off-the-wall names and she'll probably come around pretty fast. ;) Or at least you'll have some fun! hehe
