“Edith Falco is an American actress. She is best known for portraying Carmela Soprano on the HBO series The Sopranos, and Nurse Jackie Peyton on the Showtime series Nurse Jackie.” Via Wikipedia. She goes by Edie. Doesn’t sound masculine at all, it's a cute name. It should definitely be used as a nickname in my opinion.

Character Edie Hart, the girlfriend of Peter Gunn who is played by Lola Albright in the 1958 private eye TV series Peter Gunn!
The song “Edie (Ciao Baby)” by The Cult is about Edie Sedgwick, a socialite who appeared in Andy Warhol films and died of a drug overdose after suffering from mental health and substance abuse issues.
I love this name! Not for Edith. That name is horrible. They are contrasts. I love cool, quirky, unique names like Edie and Alice. They are perfect for the average teen girl.
There was a girl in my class in primary school named this, and people used to mispronounce it as 'Eddie'. She also used to be teased by people calling her 'Edie MacRedie'. Overall, this name is not a favourite of mine, and I find it a little trashy.
A famous bearer is alternative rock musician Edie Brickell, of Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians and the Heavy Circles. I do believe she's the wife of Paul Simon, correct me if I'm wrong.
I love the name Edie but I don't like Edith, I think they're just such contrasts to each other. Edie is young and rebellious, while Edith is mature and classic.
I love this as a nickname for Edith, because Edie is so sweet and adorable, and when the person gets older they can switch to the more classy name Edith.

Editte in Hebrew means the best of the milk or earth; it has an agricultural connotation, and is commonly spelled with an ayin rather than an aleph; it is linked to an Arabic name as well.
