Poor you!, thankfully Edwina is only the middle name and not your first
name, I've often wondered whether parents were hoping for a boy when they
give a girl a female version of a boys name ie:

Edwina - Edwin
Roberta - Robert
Alfreda - Alfred

There are probably others as well, but just can't think of them right now.
