I like the nickname Edie...

DS is named Isaac and I really like the name Eden for a girl (we dont know what we are having yet).  Dh does not like the name Eden at all, but he likes the nickname Edie...any first name suggestions?

Thanks!

I like Edwina and Edith, nn Edie. Other options: Edana or Edeline?

Eden means One (as in the number one) in our language (Slavic language), for that reason I like it even more. 

Other similar names: Edessa (pronounced Eh-deh-sah), Edessa is also a lovely small town in northern Greece (it's not my country of origin but I've visited Edessa and love it, there is a very pretty waterfall in the town). 

I'm not so sure about Edna - I know its a legit name but it may be a bit dated, i'm not sure.

I love the NN Edie too

There aren't many Edith's around anymore.  My Grandmother is Edith and goes by Edie.  Edie is cute.  And it will be unique among her peers.

I really like Eden; too bad your DH doesn't. It's a million, zillion times better than Edith, IMO. How about Elody (nms, but maybe yours) or Reed/Reid? Apparently, Reid/Reid is unisex (although much more popular for boys; DS2 is Reid) and Edie would be a suitable, more feminine nn.

My grandmother who was named Edith wanted us to call her Edie Grand.

Random aside, I know, but I love the name Edith!
