Eden nn Edie? For a girl

Middle name. Is there a name in the family that you could use? Like maybe your, your DM or DMil's first name? I would chose something quite feminine without being too flowery. For some reason, I'm thinking of something like Eden Margaret Surname or Eden Sarah Surname.

I think that Eden's shortened to Ede or Edie is fine. Edith is just about ok but I used to work with a French Edith, but IIRC it was pronounced Ed-eet. She sort of anglicised it to Ediff

I love Edie but don't like Eden. I know one and she tends to go by just Eden though some people shorten it to Ede (pronounced as if it rhymes with speed)

MikeUniformMike · 31/12/2016 11:58

I know an Eden. Known by all as Ede.

I love it but have two on DH's side called Eden, one child and one adult - both male funnily enough. I think on the continent it might be considered more of a boys name? (Pronounced Edd-un rather than Ee-dun)

I love it for a little girl though Smile

I knew a little girl called Eden and always thought it was a lovely name. I'd go three syllable middle name. It can't think of any sorry! X

Eden is lovely (but I don't like Edie and would probably pronounce that Ed-ie not Eed-ie)

Sierra259 · 31/12/2016 04:55

I prefer Edie to Eden and they are both very popular round here (south west London)

I know a male Eden. I don't love it forNeither sex. Edie is sweet but better as a nn for Edith.

Yika · 30/12/2016 23:29

Eden is lovely.

Edith a bit too old fashioned imo

BobbieDog · 30/12/2016 21:25

Vixxfacee · 30/12/2016 20:57

Love Eden but dislike edie.

VioletRoar · 30/12/2016 20:56

Beautiful name!

UnicornPee · 30/12/2016 20:54

I like Eden but unfortunately it's not popular where I live as it's the name of the large river that runs through the city that flooded 2000 homes last December

marmitecrumpets · 30/12/2016 20:53

Love love love Eden
