Next Opinion :-) --- It's a short version:

It's a short underline of the name Enid --- the emphasis of the "d" makes a complete emphasis of the name "Enid". So it was not important to underline the complete forename. The emphasis of the forename gives the complete name a touch of excellence -- regalness. :-) Maybe her own pronunciation could give also the solution of the riddle. ... ;-) it's with self-confidence, I would say. But I don't find the clip in the moment. :-)

Are we still no closer to a definitive answer to this puzzle??

There was sometimes just one line...

Even in informal notes to her own children the lines appear.
