I’m not a huge fan of [name_f]Edwina[/name_f] or [name_u]Eden[/name_u] or [name_f]Edith[/name_f]. I simply love [name_f]Edie[/name_f], but it doesn’t feel wearable as a stand alone name at all ages. Any suggestions for other ways to get to [name_f]Edie[/name_f]?
[name_f]Edie[/name_f] works as a standalone name [name_f]IMO[/name_f], especially if you’re in the UK. But what about:
Edelmira
[name_f]Endellion[/name_f]
[name_u]Cedar[/name_u]
[name_f]Leda[/name_f] (lee-dah)
[name_f]Edda[/name_f]
At a stretch:
[name_f]Andromeda[/name_f]
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f]
[name_f]Zelda[/name_f]
Or you could give her a name with the initials [name_m]ED[/name_m], e.g. [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], to get to [name_f]Edie[/name_f].
Edelweiss?
I was thinking [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] too!
The initials thing is a good idea.
I was going to say the initials [name_m]ED[/name_m], too.
Also:
[name_f]Edina[/name_f]
> An old poetic name for Edinburgh.
[name_f]Ediva[/name_f]
> An old Anglo [name_m]Saxon[/name_m] name with the desirable meaning of “blessed gift”.
[name_f]Edna[/name_f]
> [name_f]Edie[/name_f] sweetens this somewhat formal name, in my opinion.
Some are a bit of a stretch, but I think all of them could work.
[name_f]Edna[/name_f]
[name_f]Edina[/name_f]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f]
[name_f]Eida[/name_f]
[name_f]Elfrida[/name_f]
[name_f]Enid[/name_f]
[name_f]Evadne[/name_f]
[name_f]Hedwig[/name_f]
[name_u]Kennedy[/name_u]
[name_u]Meredith[/name_u]
[name_f]Mildred[/name_f]
[name_f]Tedra[/name_f]
[name_f]Wednesday[/name_f]
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f]
I agree [name_f]Edie[/name_f] Definitely can stand alone!
There is even a song with the name [name_f]Edie[/name_f] in it, as well as 60’s-70’s socialite [name_f]Edie[/name_f] Sedgwick who I believe the song is about.
I love [name_f]Eadie[/name_f] as a standalone name!
I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_f]Edie[/name_f] on it’s own! We have choosen [name_f]Luna[/name_f] for our daughter, but we have [name_f]Edie[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] as our ‘backup’ name in case when she is born she doesn’t look like a [name_f]Luna[/name_f] to us. 
[name_f]Edie[/name_f] does work on its own imo, but I totally understand if you’d rather have a longer “full” name.
[name_m]How[/name_m] about something like [name_f]Adeline[/name_f], [name_f]Adele[/name_f] or [name_f]Adriana[/name_f]? I know [name_f]Adie[/name_f]/[name_f]Addie[/name_f] might seem more intuitive but all do have prominent “e” and “d” sounds so I think [name_f]Edie[/name_f] would work.
Edilean/Edileen is a pretty way to get to [name_f]Edie[/name_f].
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f], [name_f]Edana[/name_f], Edira, [name_f]Edra[/name_f], [name_f]Frida[/name_f] / [name_f]Frieda[/name_f], [name_f]Edeline[/name_f], Edelina, Edelia, [name_f]Edina[/name_f], Edella, [name_f]Aleda[/name_f], [name_f]Almeda[/name_f], [name_f]Edita[/name_f], [name_f]Edka[/name_f], [name_f]Edla[/name_f].
I think [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] could work!
Thank you for all the suggestions. Guess I’m just in love with the full name, nickname concept. You’ve given me much to consider when adding [name_f]Edie[/name_f] to my list!

Another option would be to select a first and middle that have the initials [name_m]ED[/name_m] (for example, [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]) and then call her “[name_f]Edie[/name_f].”
Thank you whiteteaandginger that gives me so much to consider. I’m not pregnant or TTC, but constantly reworking and rethinking my lists and [name_f]Edie[/name_f] struck me as so within my style of a nickname, I enjoy having a list to consider to find one that fits what I love.
