Help[Opinions] Re: Considering changing my name/ some possible overthinking
in reply to a message by helianthus
Edina is an infamous city in my state with horrible connotations, so my gut is that you change it, LOL. Besides, one's name is one of the biggest markers of one's identity. You're going to have to hear it all the time and be completely associated with it, so it better be something you love!
Eden does immediately make me think of religion, but Frida doesn't come off as pretentious at all! Frida is a plenty-used name; it's not like Frida Kahlo is one of the only Fridas out there.
I agree that Eda feels incomplete. It seems more like a nickname to me.

Thank you for your input!
And in Minnesota? Yeah, I've heard, ouch lol. I get Edina mispronounced pretty often as ee-DYE-nuh because of it.

Yeah, I instinctively pronounce it that way, haha.
