I like
Edna, but I'm not a fan of
Ed or
Eddie as NNs at all!
Edie would be nice, though.
I don't love
Dolores, but I don't mind it. It's my aunt's name, so I do have the picture of a sweet, spunky older woman with it. It's also my middle-aged cousin's name (for her mother, naturally), and she goes by
Dolly. I honestly don't really like
Dolly at all, though, since it reminds me of Parton and the cloned sheep.
Dory / Dori would be nice, though.
My personal favorite
Dolores incarnation in my family would be my mother, who took it as her confirmation name in honor of (you guessed it) my aunt, who was her sponsor.
My mother's full name is the cumbersome but (imo) incredibly charming
Aurelia Mary Dolores. :)
