Help[Opinions] Edie?
Hi !!!
I read that it is the name of Keira Knightley's daughter.
I read that it is the short form of Edith. But I think that they are not so similar.
Do you think that the link Edith-Edie is so clear? I mean..if you hear Edie on its own do you automatically think of Edith?
Do you like it (as FN or as NN for Edith)?
I say that because ehen firstly I saw it my mind goes to names like Avery, Everly, Payton...these kind of trendy names.

Yes, I would always assume Edie is short for Edith. That is the usual way of it.
I love Edie, I think it's adorable (not like Avery et al. but more like Ellie, Addie, Rosie, Evie, those sort of sweety-cute trendy names). I think Edith should be way more popular than it is because Edith nn Edie fits in so well with current name trends.
I would've considered Edith nn Edie for a daughter but my husband doesn't like Edith.

I don't think I'd assume Edie was a nickname for Edith, especially where I live (England) nickname names aren't exactly rare. But I wouldn't be surprised if it was short for Edith.
I really like Edie as a first, or a nickname for Edith. But personally I prefer using given names more than nicknames, so I'd use Edie in full if I liked it enough to use. I have both Edie and Edith on my list.
I don't see Edie as trendy in the way Avery, Everly, Payton etc. are. Again, from a U.K. perspective it fits the trend of nickname names and vintage style names, plus it is increasing in popularity so it can be described as trendy. But it's not a more modern, unisex style trendy name like the ones mentioned.

I guess it might seem trendy in the way that most NNs used as FNs sound to me (like Tori as a FN instead of a NN for Victoria), but it's been so long since Edith was really popular, at least in the US, that Edie as a FN mainly comes across as a bit twee to me...
I don't dislike it, but I prefer Edith.

Do you pronounce them with different sounds? Edie is pronounced ee-dee, not like Eddie which is pronounced eh-dee. Edith is pronounced ee-dith, so Edie makes perfect sense as a nickname.
I like it as a nickname and honestly I see it aging well enough that it wouldn't be the worst standalone first name. But if I met one, I'd assume her name was Edith.
