Edie - popular?

[whatausername]

Is Edie, whether as a standalone name or diminutive, particularly common or popular where you live? This is more out of curiosity than a need to be rare or uncommon.

My Grandma’s sister is called Edie, it’s short for Edith but she has never been called Edith.

I know a ten year old Edie and a one year old Edie. There’s also one in my DC’s school.

I know 4

I have an edith, other people call her edie. I know about 8 ediths from school, swim classes / activities and friends (or friends of friends) children. It’s not as uncommon as I hoped!

Pronounced Eedee I'm assuming and short for Edith?

I don't know any. I think it's nice. It may rise in popularity soon but that's never bothered me. Might bother you.

Yeh it’s still outside the top 100 so I say use it
Edie is lovely
I love Edith in particular

I love Edie so much, wanted it for DD but DH vetoed it. Also because of Diary of a Crush!

But if you do you must call her sibling Patsy

I know a 4yr old Edie

@littlejalapeno but Edwina's nickname was Eddie, was it not? Edie isn't pronounced like Eddie

I have never known anyone with that name where I live, and no young ones with that name either in any baby groups nursery. (Live in london). But seems to be popular on mumsnet

DS is Eden, and he goes by Edie most of the time which really confuses anyone who thinks Eden isn't a unisex name.

I know three Edith's under three, only one of them goes by Edie.

I have come across 2 Ediths in baby groups not sure if they go by Edie, only been introduced as Edith. So no Edie's as a stand alone name. I like it though, I also like Enid which I think will be less popular than Edie.

Eden, Edie, Edward, Ed all look and sound masculine to me.

In our area it is so popular - we have one (Edith nn Edie) and I would say I know 5 others under 5. To be honest I am kicking myself as I thought it was really unusual when I was pregnant!

A three-year old girl, called Eadie.
Never met any others.

I know one, she’s 3 and adorable! Also love the Eadie spelling.

Eadie makes the pronunciation much more obvious.

Ed or Edie could be short for Edward or Edwina.

I only know of one Edie. She is 2. I have never met anyone else called Edith or Edie of any age.

No need to spell it Eadie when the pronunciation of Edie is ‘eadie’. Think Eadie looks silly.

And yes Eden is unisex but the Edens I know don,t seem to shorten there name.

I would pronounce Ed and Edie like Edition or Edit, rather than EEdie.

I know one Edith. But she doesn't shorten it.

I know a few Edwards who go by Ed.
