I came across someone's blog, and read this : "My brain is such a strange place. Tonight I was watching the movie Motherhood with Uma Thurmond and there is a part where she is at the bakery picking up a birthday cake for her daughter Clara, but they have misspelled the name Clarra. The woman behind her says "well it is your fault, you named her an Edna name." Which is apparently an "old lesbian librarian name" and when Uma assures her that Clara is not an Edna name, the lady retorts that "sure it is, you probably named her after a favorite grandmother."
Ironically, my name is Edna and i have a friend named Clara. And no, im not an 'old lesbian librarian'. I'm not old at all, i'm 20 and my surname is Young.
And i googled my name and found out that most Edna Youngs all around the world are OLD! Oh please. This is sad. True enough, i don't even know someone named Edna besides another Edna who is a friend of my friend Clara.
However, Edna is such a beautiful name. (Of course coz that's my name) It is of Hebrew origin, and the meaning of Edna is "renewer" and "pleasure". Also possibly a bibilical name from the same root as Eden, meaning place of pleasure. Haha. See, it's a good name. And because there's so few Ednas out there, an Edna is SPECIAL. You ought to be thankful you know at least one Edna, and that's me.
