HelpRe: Edie?
in reply to a message by Felie
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.
