Re: Considering changing my name/ some possible overthinking
I like Frida and Edvarda, as well as Irene and maybe Irena. But it’s fine to change your name to something different from your birth name if it's what you want! There's nothing fake about wanting to feel comfortable and like yourself.
I think Edwina could also be nice, though it doesn't actually have the 'eed' sound (but I think you could get away with using it anyway!). Things disconnected from Edie that sound similar to me are Edwige, Iva, Ivy, and Iseult, though depending on where you live Edwige and Iseult may be difficult for people to pronounce.
