chordus, the name Edna isn't used much anymore. I was named for my paternal grandmother - Edna Earl Craig Rogers. My name is Edna Ross Rogers Eaton. I have dropped the Rogers part. The Ross was my maternal grandmother. I taught 3 Edna's in my 34 years in public education. I met another Edna in graduate work at Texas A & M. I've seen a lot of comedians use the name in their routines. It's not a popular name.
