“Formal” name for Edie

Due in 3 months and struggling with names!

DD1 is Leyla Eden and suspect this one is a girl. Wishing we hadn’t used Eden as we both love the name Edie but DH insists on having a “formal” name that can be shortened to Edie. Any ideas beyond the obvious?

Would IBU to use Eden if it’s DD1’s middle name?

Thanks in advance! Smile

Just use Eden! I don't think many people will notice (I couldn't tell you any of my friends' kids' middle names, or many of my friends'). I know two people who have a sibling with their name as a middle name, and neither thinks it's weird, they've never really known any different. How old is dd1, old enough to have an opinion?

Thanks for all the help! Feeling better about using Eden! Also Winifred is a family name already so that could also be an option! Happy hump day all x
