Edith
Edith is a difficult name to categorize – it sounds either very fashionable or quite matronly, but this traditional name represents more than that. Edith was the name of many prominent women, including Edith Roosevelt, the president’s wife and political dynamo, and French singer Edith Piaf. Not to mention the first woman to receive the Pulitzer Prize in Literature, Edith Wharton. These ladies were graceful, powerful, and unapologetically themselves. We can’t stop thinking about another Edith. Edith Bunker. This fictional lady graced our televisions in the 1970s, bringing her very feminine beliefs and cheery personality to life.

Ruth
Parents, take note: Ruth is a genuinely wonderful name. This name originally appeared in the Bible (in fact, in The Book of Ruth), and it became extremely popular in the 1990s. If parents are wondering whether Ruth’s noble definition still applies today, there is no better example than former Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, R.I.P. There’s also the incredible Dinah Washington, born Ruth Lee Jones, the crazy Ruth Westheimer, one of the best therapists and educators of her day, and the renowned Ruth Etting.
