Spelling of baby's name

[Laurajelfs]

Iv just had a little girl and love the name Edie but I would like to spell it Eidie would just like people's opinions before I go register her.

Thanks super proud mummy

How will you pronounce it.
Ee-dee or
Ed-dee

Congratulations on your babe.

Congrats on your baby .

Edie is a really lovely name.

Eidie is awful and will set her up for a lifetime of people mispronouncing her name. There's just no need to do that to your DD for the sake of being 'yooneeq'.

I'd think that was pronounced I-dee?

Edie is lovely, and says "Edie"

Eidie says "idy" and is like someone trying to say Heidi with a dropped 'H'

Eidie is awful.

Edie is OK as a nickname but I'm not keen on nicknames as full names.

'Ei' only makes an 'ee' sound in English if it comes after a 'c', which this doesn't. Plus it looks insane. Sorry.

I do know an Eadie which is marginally better but just as unnecessary.

but it would be pronounced "I.D."

edie much nicer

Edie is a nice name and is pronounced Ee-dee

Eidie is weird and would be pronounced I-dee

If you want a child called ID, then go for it!

Edie = ee-dee = fine
Eidie = eye-dee = not good

It would sound like you meant to call her Heidi but you drop your H's

Definitely not. If you want to call her Edie call her Edie. But why does everyone feel the need to change the spellings of names. It's awful.

Why do you want to spell it Eidie?

I would go with Edie.

I'd register her as Edith and call her Edie.

The made up spelling version you posted will just be a waste of time and energy spelling it out to everyone who will assume you meant to call her Heidi but forgot the 'H'.

I agree, it looks like it should be pronounced I.D.

Why do you want to use an alternative spelling?

Congrats on the new baby!

Please go with Edie, if I saw Eidie I'd try and pronounce it as Ay-ee-dee.

Yep, keep it as Edie, otherwise it's mangling it.

Eidie looks misspelt and like it would be pronounced I-dee.

I'd use Edie or Edith with Edie as a nickname.

Definitely spell it edie.

It's the kind of name that's cute on a baby but you can't imagine a ten year old or teen called it and Edith is an old people's name.

I definitely would t spell it eidie. Makes your eyes go all funny

Eidie just makes me think of the Muslim festival.

I prefer Edie rather than Eidie too I'm afraid.

I love Eden for a girl, if you're thinking about a more formal birth certificate name with Edie as a nickname

Edie is lovely, you don't need to adjust spelling as everyone knows it is Eedee, not Ed dee.

I agree with what everyone else said.

Eidie is an unnecessary and unhelpful change of spelling.

Why would you bother?

I'd go with Edith or Eden and shorten to Edie, but if you really want Edie I don't get why you would spell it Eidie... It doesn't look like it would be pronounced Ee-dee, more like Heidi without the H...
