Edwina
My current onomastic fascination is female names that begin with "ed" and therefore yield the nickname Eddy.

I like Edwina, but my association is firmly with my nephew and his pug puppy, who is known in the family as Wee-Wee for pretty obvious reasons. She's a pleasant little pooch, but she has polluted my mind!
Edwina Susan is surprisingly good. Also Edwina Rosemary, Edwina Marcelle and Edwina Caroline.

I love Edwina, mostly when said Ed-WAYNE-uh instead of Ed-WEEN-uh. Eddy is kind of cute!
Edwina Cybele is really pretty, I like too many of your combos to list them all :)

I seesaw with Edwina. On the one hand, I appreciate it's old-fashioned quirkiness; on the other, I can't get past the "weena" sound.
I like the NN Eddy/Eddie for a girl, but I might be the only one.

Edwina is on DH and mines list. When I posted about it, I got loads of people telling me how much they hate it. I however like the look and feel of this name. My favourites from your list.

I love Edwina. Edie is my preferred nickname for it, though.
Eddy does have the Jennifer Saunders/Absolutely Fabulous association to help it, ;) but I just can't get into the name.
