Eden as a nn for?

Girl Names
1

I love long girl names, ideally at least three syllables, that can shorten to a one or two syllable nn.

Currently I’m toying with the name [name_u]Eden[/name_u], but I don’t want something so short and simple by itself, especially since I’d prefer if [name_u]Eden[/name_u] itself not to be shortened any further to [name_f]Edie[/name_f] or anything. If [name_u]Eden[/name_u] is already a nn for something longer it might prevent people from feeling the need to shorten it further.

So if I could find, or invent, a longer variation for [name_u]Eden[/name_u] that’d be great but I’m at a loss to how I could get there. All I can think of is [name_f]Edith[/name_f] which I don’t like. Or Credence which doesn’t sound appealing to me.

Any ideas??

Edian is Hebrew meaning “decoration for God”
Since you said you’re open for invention:
Edewyn/Edawen
Edonah
Ediana
Edenaya
Edenalia
Edenore
Edenieve
Elledyn
Arhedyn
Lorredyn

Some I like are Edenieve, Elledyn, and [name_f]Edenia[/name_f] but I’m not sure if any of them hit the right spot for what I’m looking for yet.

What about [name_f]Endellion[/name_f]? I could see [name_u]Eden[/name_u] coming from that… not sure if it’s your style though.

Or Eveden (though apparently it’s a company name)

[name_f]Ardenia[/name_f]
[name_f]Gardenia[/name_f]
