HelpRe: Considering changing my name/ some possible overthinking
in reply to a message by helianthus
I've changed my name as an adult. Yes, I think you are overthinking the "what if people think about-?" parts, but I totally get it. It's hard not to consider every possible angle! But, I absolutely never thought about disorders or dictators and how they sound like Edie, until you pointed it out! So do not worry too much about that.
I love Edie. Eden nn Edie is really lovely, but I understand that it may feel too religious for you. I see it as more retro myself (I think of Barbara Eden).
Frida "Edie" doesn't feel pretentious to me (in fact, it's a little frumpy-cute!). It's similar to Edie but also, not. I think this would work very well.
To throw another wrench in, what about Edwina "Edie"? It's just one extra letter from Edina, yet it's a whole new name.
