So, I've really been crushing on the name Edie recently. I think it's just adorable for a little girl. The only problem is, I don't think it's really usable as a standalone name, and the only names I know it as a nickname for are Eden (which is okay, but not really a favorite of mine) and Edith (which I can only see on old ladies and Downton Abbey characters, but not so much on a present day little girl). So my question is: Can you girls think of any other names that Edie could be used as a nickname for? I'm just curious to see what you can all come up with.
Edie as a nickname for....?

Thanks! Edra and Edrina are interesting. There actually used to be an older lady at my church named Edria, which I always thought was kind of pretty, and I hadn't thought of her name until I read your comment. So there's another name to consider. Thanks again for your input!

Edie is great, I've been crushing on it, too! I know an Eda.
Also:
Enid
Andromeda
Veda
Edalie (ee-duh-lee)
Edalia (ee-doll-yuh)
Or, anything with the initals E.D.

Thanks for the feedback, Addison! I was trying to think of names that had -ed somewhere in them, but didn't necessarily start with -ed. Andromeda is a really good suggestion. I also like Edalie. I've never seen it before, but it's very pretty.

You are welcome! For more suggestions, go on Nameberry and click the green "Find A Name" tab on the top right. Click girls and then under the "contains" blank put ed.

I had a huge crush on Edie for a while. I came across Edingale and Edith spelled Edythe which isn't a NEW spelling but actually a very old one which to me seemed a bit more modern and wearable.

Ooh, I like Edingale a lot! It's pretty and magical-sounding. It makes me think of medieval legends, for some reason.

By the way, what do you ladies think of Edie as a nickname for Elodie? I know it's just taking out to letters, but I think it could work.
