Help[Opinions] Re: Edwina
in reply to a message by Bex
First off, this might not hold true in Australia, but in the US, Eddy Arnold (I think that's the spelling) is a pretty well-known old-style country -western singer.
Edwina is hideous, so hideous it seems almost deliberately designed to be hideous. It would fit right in with hideous siblings Rufus and Hilda.
Eddie as a nn for a girl seems self-consciously tomboyish and won't age well. I do know a woman around sixty named Eddie, I don't know if it's short for anything or not. She's from the hills of West Virginia, and I think that kind of name on a girl is also pretty typical of the poor rural south several generations ago.
Let other people push you around, and you deserve whatever bad things happen after that.--Lauren Bacall
