I did what I never do and looked at reddits opinion on [name_f]Edie[/name_f] 
As always the top comments are not positive. Most prefer [name_f]Edith[/name_f] and think [name_f]Edie[/name_f] will be misread [name_u]Eddie[/name_u]. Is this true? I have a great big emotional attachment to it so it doesnāt really matter, but is it travel friendly?
[name_m]Just[/name_m] overthinking my list!
Thanks

Maybe Iām missing something, but Iām not sure why [name_f]Edie[/name_f] wouldnāt be usable!
Reddit is always harsh with names, try not to take it to heart, [name_f]Edie[/name_f] is so lovely!
I know a teenage [name_f]Edie[/name_f], and sometimes people accidentally pronounce her name like [name_u]Eddie[/name_u] but they always get it right after being corrected.
While it could be read as [name_f]Edie[/name_f], It could depend on the language.
This might come across as hard, but Iām being practical. Iām going to hide it because it contains slightly sensitive stuff based on how it looks written down.
What is something to consider is, what would other children think of it?. While Iām pretty sure itās pronouced ee-dee, seeing it written down is another thing as itās basically an extra letter added onto a word which is far from appropriate as a name. Are other kids likely to pass a comment, and will she get any funny looks. Itās a little like [name_f]Violet[/name_f] being one letter away from Violent. (Unice somehow got an insulting nickname which only contains 4 of her letters and not even in the same order, but I blame that on dyslexia)
Despite this, I think [name_f]Edie[/name_f] is very cute, and like i said, how itās percieved depends on languages.
[name_f]Edie[/name_f] feels totally usable to me! Honestly, I wouldnāt have thought to question its usability at all!
I think people on Reddit will be negative about any name, unfortunately. Maybe some people might say [name_u]Eddie[/name_u] occasionally but I think [name_f]Edie[/name_f] is a fairly recognizable name, even if itās not currently common. It also looks a lot like the more common [name_u]Eden[/name_u] and [name_f]Evie[/name_f] which are usually pronounced similarly (at least in English).
Maybe Iām missing something obvious, but I canāt figure out what word youāre referring to in your hidden section?
I think [name_f]Edie[/name_f] is totally usable, especially as @EagleEyes mentions, itās so close to [name_f]Evie[/name_f], which is very common (where I am, at least).
I also wouldnāt put too much faith in what Reddit says.
Iāll take that as a positive thing. It isnāt even anything iād point out myself.
I do believe that nobody has the right to tease a name anyway so it shouldnāt even matter. [name_f]Edie[/name_f] is a pretty name that will fit her from birth into old age. It does look alot like [name_u]Eden[/name_u] and [name_f]Evie[/name_f].
I also wouldnāt trust any forum other than nb for name advice. [name_m]Even[/name_m] though iāve never used any of them, Iāve heard that they can be very harsh.
The main āwordā Iāve heard people say is it sounds like ED aka an eating disorder. However I had an ED in the past and [name_f]Ana[/name_f] is a more triggering word on the subject to me. the other comment is literally just āthatās not a name.ā 
if you bring up [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] and evie the Reddit users probably would say those arenāt full names either. 
Iāve encountered two girls called [name_f]Edie[/name_f]! Both had it as their full name! I will say, one did get misheard as āEvieā when she introduced herself, but it was an easy correction. For what itās work, it ranks at 115 in the UK currently (not too far behind [name_f]Edith[/name_f] itself) so I donāt think itās too unfamiliar.
I love [name_f]Edie[/name_f] but the ED / eating disorder makes it feel unusable for me personally (not as a name in general) - I guess it just depends on your associations and experiences of those around you, as I donāt think thatās what everyoneās mind goes to
[name_f]Edie[/name_f] is perfectly usuable in my opinion. In todayās multicultural world, it would be ridiculous to get het up about how other languages might pronounce it. Half the time we cannot pronounce their names either!
Gosh I live in the land of nicknames! I actually would be surprised to encounter an [name_f]Edie[/name_f] who was actually [name_f]Edith[/name_f]
I know a few Edieās the name is completely usable the only issue theyāve encountered is people mishearing the name and saying [name_f]Evie[/name_f] (sheās more popular) never [name_u]Eddie[/name_u]. I think youād be fine!
iāve known several girls called edie (iām in england where sheās just outside the top 100 atm) and i think itās lovely !! there are a couple of reasons i could see it being considered unusable/undesirable, but they donāt actually affect my opinion at all - i see them but i donāt get them. ātoo close to eddieā is not one of those reasons. i think edie is a gorgeous choice.
I love it. Would pick it over [name_f]Edith[/name_f]. [name_u]Will[/name_u] occasionally be misspelled or mispronounced but I wouldnāt think a lot.
I think itās definitely usable!
Iām in agreement with others that the ED/eating disorder association makes it unusable for me personally at least ATM, but I love the name. Iād be so happy to meet an [name_f]Edie[/name_f]! As a nickname or as a full name.
Iāve met a fair few little Edies and I think itās great as a nickname or full name! Itās in the same category as names like [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] or [name_u]Billie[/name_u] to me ā cute, but with enough punch to feel strong as a standalone too.
i think itās usable (and gorgeous)!! it might be mispronounced sometimes but itās easily correctable.
[name_f]Edie[/name_f] does make me think [name_u]Eddie[/name_u] but I donāt think its a big deal. It does sound the same as ED which could stand for erectile dysfunction. But this isnāt what comes to mind. Actually I think of the woman in the original Mummy movie and she was great! [name_f]My[/name_f] only concern is that itās very nicknamey and feels very old fashioned/ or hipster?? to me as an American. Its also not terribly feminine in my head but fun and quirky.
