Answer: Yes
\angle FDE is one possible angle name

Another name is
\angle EDF

When it comes to naming an angle this way, all we need to worry about is the vertex point. This is where the angle hinges (think of a door or a pair of scissors). In this case, the hinge or vertex point is at point D. The vertex is always the middle letter of any three-letter sequence. The order of the other two points does not matter.

This is why saying "angle FDE" is the same as "angle EDF".
